Hleb rumoured to return to Spain - will he help Real Zaragoza?

The insider information that Alyaksandr Hleb is packing suitcases to Spain has struck unexpectedly. While the midfielder was starring a drinking water advert, the agency's employees overheard player’s sensational phone conversation. 

"As far as we understood, he was going to Real Zaragoza, if we didn’t mess up anything," summed up the source.

We called Yauhen Haiduk, the football agent who represents player’s interests in Belarus.

"I do not comment on rumours," the agent said abruptly in response to our question.

BATE Spokesman Syarhei Dashkevich gave exactly the same answer. At the same time, neither the agent nor the spokesman did not refute the information about Hleb’s moving to Spain by 100%.

Real Zaragoza FC is struggling not to avoid relegation from the Spanish top football division La Liga this season. The team lacks a creative midfielder, while the Spaniards do their best fighting for a place under the sun.

"Buenos tardes! Are you talking about Alyaksandr Hleb, the same one that used to play for Barcelona? " official administrator of Real Zaragoza Ruben came to life in spite of his afternoon siesta. Even if the player is going to join us, he has not passed a physical examination yet. Otherwise, I would have known. Therefore, I can give you no details, as I do not know anything. "

Meanwhile, Alyaksandr Hleb is playing for BATE and provides no information about these rumours. The footballer posted a bright photo of himself wearing the Barysau team colors as a profile picture in social networks.

However, footballer’s wife published some photos from Spain in the social networks. Of course, Nastassia Kasyankova could have just spent holidays there, but it is also possible that she was accompanying her husband. 

Therefore, we called Alyaksandr Hleb’s wife to ask her directly about the Iberian rumors.

"This must be a joke, where have you read this?" Nastassia seems surprised. If they talked about Barcelona, it would be possible to believe. This way, definitely not. This is a joke. We have a 1-year contract with BATE. So, we are not going anywhere so far ..."
