The defender of the Lithuanian national team will not move to Kazan at least until the summer - the deal collapsed because he did not receive the agreed 200 thousand pounds from the Russian club. A week ago, it seemed that 27-year-old Skerla would definitely leave "Dunfermline". The Scottish club agreed with "Rubin" on the Lithuanian's transfer and he even said goodbye to the team's fans during the half-time break of the match against "Motherwell". Earlier it was reported that the main reason for Skerla's move to Russia was personal reasons, but recently the newspaper "Daily Record" published a different version, according to which the Lithuanian defender simply wanted a new challenge. "I wouldn't say that I want to leave 'Dunfermline', because I liked it here and have really good memories. But I've been here for almost five years, and this would be a new challenge for me. I have many friends playing in Russia, and they tell me that it's a great league," Skerla is quoted as saying. "Football in Russia is on the rise, and 'Rubin' from Kazan is an ambitious club, creating a new team with players from South America and Norway, so it would be interesting to be part of it. Some say I'm leaving for personal reasons, but the distance to my country from there is almost the same as from Scotland," the Lithuanian said a week ago. Financially troubled "Dunfermline" had agreed to the offer from "Rubin", but since the Russians failed to transfer the money by the end of the "transfer window" on Thursday, the transfer is canceled, and Skerla will have to finish the season in Scotland - the Lithuanian has already been included in the squad for today's match against "Celtic". All this was confirmed by the team's coach Davie Hay on Friday: "Andrius' transfer is off. He stays here and is included in the squad for Saturday's meeting with 'Celtic'."
