Anzhi hoping to sign world’s best
Anzhi have already taken big strides forward as a club, with the likes of Samuel Eto’o, Yuri Zhirkov and Christopher Samba all having moved to Russia, and Guus Hiddink has now taken charge of the club.
Carlos, who acts as an assistant to the president Suleiman Kerimov in addition to his playing duties, has revealed the club are now setting their sights a little higher.
“Today, Messi is the best player in the world,” he told Radio Marca. “He continues to show that. Cristiano is the key star for Real Madrid.
“I have no preference for either, but certainly Anzhi will try to sign both when their contracts expire.”
Anzhi may well have bucket-loads of cash but the chances of the Dagestan based side landing either Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are slim to none. Whilst the likes of Samuel Eto’o, Yuri Zhirkov and Christopher Samba are very decent captures who may well assist Hiddink’s chances of taking his side further up the Russian Premier League they are not signings in the same league as arguably the two best footballers on planet earth!
Roberto Carlos could well be a useful tool to persuade big name players to make the move to Anzhi but some targets are just out of their reach.
To put things into some sort of perspective it’s also been reported that Stoke City striker Kenwyne Jones has been targeted by Anzhi but the Potters man is not keen on making the move.
