Six months later, the famous athlete Bukharov moved to the Rostov football club for 2 years, and in 2018 tore up the contract and returned to Rubin.

Personal life
The media covered not only the sports achievements of the famous football player. In 2013, Bukharov was detained for a riot at Pulkovo airport, which he staged while intoxicated. Alexander Evgenievich spent the night behind bars and was charged under the article “Petty hooliganism”.
For the rest, the athlete carefully hides his personal life. Fans do not know how Alexander lives, whose husband is, whether he has a child. From the official data, one can only mention that Bukharov grew up in a Russian-Tatar family.
