Former Russian football player **Aleksey Gasilin** has labeled “Spartak” as the biggest disappointment of 2025 in the RPL arena. He specifically criticized the transfers made by the red-and-whites, asserting that the acquisition of **Liva García** from AEK is the worst transfer of the year in the RPL. According to media reports, “Spartak” paid around €20 million for the forward.

**– Which team has disappointed the most in 2025?**
**– Undoubtedly, it’s “Spartak.” Although everyone there has become accustomed to the ineffective transfer strategies and the constant changing of coaches, the decisions being made are simply absurd. The club has settled into a mid-table position in our league. How can you spend €50 million on transfers that do not benefit the team? These are ridiculous and poor choices made by the management and coaching staff. Until last winter, “Spartak” was competing for the championship, with Ugalde scoring goals consistently, yet they decided to bring in Liva García. That money has been wasted.**

**– Is Liva García the worst transfer of the season?**
**– In terms of value for money, absolutely, – Gasilin stated as reported by Metaratings.**
