According to the rules of the International Football Association, players can move from one club to another within a strictly allotted time frame - "transfer windows". There are two such windows in total - summer and winter. Summer is open now and the topic of players' transitions at this time is most relevant in the cheerleading environment. With regard to the Russian footballer, most often now they are discussing options for continuing the career of Andrei Arshavin, the captain of the country's national team that failed at Euro 2012.
Andrey Arshavin has a contract with London Arsenal, valid until next summer. Therefore, if no other club can agree on the transfer with Arsenal and the player himself before the end of the summer transfer window, then the career of the captain of the Russian national team will continue in this particular team. The next opportunity to change the club will appear in six months, during the winter period of additional applications. The last months of Arshavin's stay at the London club, he spent on the bench and in the games for the backup team, and then he himself asked to give him on loan. Based on this, we can assume that he himself would prefer to change the team now. There is no official information about Arsenal's negotiations on the sale of the Russian footballer with anyone yet, there are only assumptions and rumors expressed by journalists.
One of the most well-founded rumors of this kind sends Arshavin to Zenit St. Petersburg, where he left for Arsenal, and where he spent the last six months as a rented player. At the end of the lease term, Luciano Spaletti, the coach of the St. Petersburg team, did not express a desire to extend the cooperation with the football player. However, it is now becoming clear that Miguel Danni will not recover from his injury soon, and Arshavin was loaned to replace the Portuguese. Therefore, it is likely that Arshavin's career will continue at Zenit.
Of the other options, the English club "Reading" was called. The reasons for this option are only indirect - it was recently acquired by Russian businessman Anton Zingarevich, the team has advanced to the Premier League and needs quality players to gain a foothold at a new level. Another player of the Russian national team - forward Pavel Pogrebnyak will play in this club in the new season. However, there is no confirmation of this option for continuing Arshavin's career at Reading.
Among other options, the press at the level of assumptions called the Turkish club "Galatasaray" and the Qatari "Al-Sadd".
