River Plate forward Dominguez rejects offer to return to Rubin

Former Rubin Kazan ace Alejandro Dominguez, who currently plays for Argentinian side River Plate, has rejected an official offer to return to the Tatarstan capital.

Rubin president Dmitry Samarenkin initiated the talks with former Valencia player, offering him a 1.5-year deal but the 30-year-old refused to consider a return to Russia.

According to Muy River website, citing Dominguez’s teammate at River Fernando Cavenaghi, the UEFA Cup winner with Zenit St. Petersburg turned down a contract offer worth around €4 million per year.

The player spent 2 years in Kazan, having arrived in 2004, and then came back in 2009 as part of a loan deal. He scored 37 goals in all competitions for the Russian club.
