Mirlind Daku's strong start prompts Russian clubs' transfer bids

Albanian striker Mirlind Daku opened the Russian Premier League season with a brace, scoring both goals in Rubin Kazan's 2‑1 victory over Akron Togliatti. His early form has reinforced his status as the team's main attacking threat and drawn attention from other clubs.

Spartak Moscow has reportedly activated a €11 million release clause to secure Daku's services, while CSKA Moscow is also said to be interested. Negotiations over personal terms remain pending, and the move could become one of the most significant transfers of the summer window in Russian football.
