Dmitry Selyuk, the agent of Aleksandr Kokorin, has confirmed that he would not advise his client to move to Italy following his clients recent admission that he would be keen on a move to either Inter or AC Milan.

The 29-year-old, who only recently returned to football having been released from prison after attacking a trade ministry official and a driver, is currently on the books of Russian Premier League side Zenit St Petersburg although he is currently out on loan at FC Sochi.

Despite having been out of action for some time due to his prison sentence, Kokorin has shown that he can still perform to a good level with him having notched three goals and two assists in four games for FC Sochi, since joining on loan in February.

“He wants to play for one of the two Milanese clubs? I would not advise Kokorin to go to Italy. Anyway, he is doing very well now at Sochi,” Selyuk admitted in an interview with Russian news outlet inter-volgograd.ru.

Kokorin could well be available on a free transfer given his deal with Zenit St Petersburg expires at the end of the season but it is not clear what their intentions are for him.
