By OnzeActu · · 5 min read
Arshavin believes that Borisko should quickly be established at CSKA and sees this transfer as preparation for the future, anticipating Akinfeev's likely retirement next summer.
Why it matters
Maksim Borisko's transfer to CSKA is significant for the club's future, especially with the imminent retirement of Igor Akinfeev. Arshavin emphasizes that Borisko, who showed solid performances in Baltika, is well positioned to take over in the team. This could mark a turning point in the dynamics of the club, traditionally dominated by Akinfeev.
Context
Maksim Borisko, after shining at Baltika with 110 matches and 57 clean sheets, joined CSKA to strengthen its defense. The Moscow club, which has a rich history in the RPL, sees in him a future goalkeeper capable of succeeding the legend Akinfeev, whose career could come to an end next summer.

“In one or two matches, Borisko will put himself in CSKA's goal,” Arshavin said. The former international recalled the long era dominated by Igor Akinfeev at the goalkeeper position: “Basically, we were used to CSKA having only one goalkeeper — Igor Akinfeev. Vladislav Torop only replaced him in the Russian Cup. It is clear that these last two seasons it was no longer just in the Cup. But overall we understand that any goalkeeper who came through the CSKA system knew that either injury or suspension would allow him to don the gloves. I think that the purchase of Borisko is CSKA's preparation for the fact that next summer Igor will end his career. That’s how I see it.”
Borisko's numbers at Baltika reinforce the interest in the transfer: the goalkeeper has played 110 matches for Baltika, including 57 games without conceding a goal – a total which constitutes the second best ratio in the club's modern period. This assessment undoubtedly weighed in CSKA's decision to secure an experienced goalkeeper, capable of taking over or competing with the club's close guard.

At CSKA, the transition between generations for the goalkeeper position promises to be closely monitored. Igor Akinfeev, emblematic figure of the club, has long been the undisputed reference, occasionally supported by Vladislav Torop. The arrival of Borisko now offers the Moscow staff an additional option and prepares, according to Arshavin, the post-Akinfeev era.
On the sporting side, internal competition and the coach's choices will determine Borisko's integration timetable: rapid tenure mentioned by Arshavin or period of gradual adaptation, several scenarios remain possible. For now, the transfer is official and rekindles the debate on the succession to the goalkeeper position in one of the historic clubs of the Russian championship.
If the prospect of Akinfeev retiring next summer is at this stage only an interpretation of Arshavin, it underlines the strategic importance of Borisko's arrival for CSKA Moscow and the need for the club to prepare for the future in its most sensitive position.
The rest
Borisko is expected to make an early start with CSKA, which could influence the team's strategy in upcoming RPL football matches. The transition to a new goalkeeper could also affect the team's morale, as they prepare for a new era without Akinfeev. CSKA fans will be closely following Borisko's performances to see if he can establish himself as the new number one.
