11.12.2024
Raul Yakupov will join Ak Bars on loan.
In the current KHL season, Raul Yakupov played 4 games for Neftekhimik and did not score any points.
Neftekhimik sports director Anton Marchinsky:
– Raul is going to the Ak Bars system on a temporary transfer. This could have happened even before his loan to Vladivostok. Then it was decided that Raul would get more ice time on Admiral, and this is the best option for his development. However, without giving him a proper chance, the player was sent to the JHL team. Then it was decided to return Yakupov.
After that, Ak Bars made an offer to take the player on loan. We had a detailed conversation with the general manager of the Ak Bars Marat Valiullin about Raul's performance in the Club's system. On Ak Bars, the player is seen as a competitor for the limit player position in the main team. This suits the hockey player himself. In addition, Raul will gain experience playing in the VHL team, which sets high goals for itself and is currently fighting for the playoffs. Then everything depends on Raul himself.
