After a four-day business trip, "Ekranas" defender Egidijus Majus, who returned from Saint Petersburg football club "Zenit", will play the Europa League qualifying second leg match in Luxembourg on July 29. It is possible that this will be one of the last matches where E. Majus will wear "Ekranas" jerseys.
According to FK "Zenit" deputy general director A. Bokij, "we would like to see this Lithuanian in our team's ranks." Currently, FK "Zenit" management is making efforts to contact the FK "Ekranas" leaders. Danutė Matuzienė believes that "the transfer window in the Russian Premier League ends on August 31. There is enough time to prepare for negotiations. Especially since the announcement about E. Majus' internship at FK "Zenit" website and in the newspaper "Sport ekspres", there have been offers pouring in from other leading Russian clubs. The latter are interested not only in E. Majus, but also in other "Ekranas" players."
FK "Ekranas" head coach Virginijus Liubšys is happy that the top league Russian club (FK "Zenit" after 18 rounds in the Russian championship has climbed to the first place in the standings) is seriously interested in "Ekranas" defender. "This raises the name and shares of our club. By the way, all former Ekranai who left the club ended up in significantly higher professional level teams," said V. Liubšys. The coach does not think that the player turnover will affect the game of "Ekranas". "It's life. Player rotation opens the path to new searches in our team. "Porto" club, having won the Champions League, replaced 12 players and nothing happened. This is normal in the world of football. And besides, Majus from "Zenit" returned with such emotions that we can no longer "hold him back"...
Twenty-year-old "Ekranas" defender, who is in the spotlight of several top league Russian clubs, personally would give preference to "Zenit". "I would like to play in their club, I crave new opportunities for myself," Egidijus Majus said optimistically."
