Maccabi Haifa will sell Franzi Piero for 3-4 million euros, according to Russian media. Lokomotiv Moscow, which also courted him last summer, will be strong in the race.

Despite frequent criticism, Piero delivered the goods this season with 22 goals in 42 appearances in all competitions. In the Champions League qualifiers, he scored five goals in eight games. At least three foreigners are expected to leave, with Piero and Pierre Cornot expected to be sold - the former will have a high price tag.
