La Liga
The Spartak Moscow has sparked media interest in Russia after it was leaked that the club is reportedly considering making an offer for Victor Orta, current sporting director of Sevilla FC. According to sources like Metaratings, the Madrid native is among the priority names for the Russian board to lead their sports planning, sharing the list with profiles like Mauro Leo and Francis Cagigao.
Orta, who is turning 46 soon, is no stranger to Russian football. In the 2013-14 season, he worked as the chief scout at Zenit St. Petersburg, after his initial spell at Sevilla under Monchi's leadership. After his time in Russia, he returned to Spain to take on the role of sporting director at Elche.
Sevilla Unaware of Such Offer
Sevilla confirms they are unaware of this supposed interest from Spartak and consider it unlikely that Orta will leave his position before the season ends. With a contract in place until June 2026, the sporting director is focused on strengthening the squad for the winter transfer market, a crucial period for the Seville team.
The current situation of Spartak also raises questions. The Russian Premier League is on hold for winter break, and international restrictions prevent teams from the country from participating in European competitions. Nevertheless, the Moscow club, third in the table under the management of Dejan Stankovic, seems determined to bet heavily on an ambitious project, with Orta potentially playing a key role.
