Lokomotiv Moscow are still hopeful of signing Tottenham star Roman Pavlyuchenko.
The Russian striker infamously fell out with Spurs boss Harry Redknapp at the start of the season and was close to agreeing a deal to join Lokomotiv earlier in the year.
Pavlyuchenko has since forced his way into Redknapp's first team plans following the departure of Robbie Keane to Celtic in January and has scored nine goals in his last eight appearances for Tottenham.
Nevertheless, Lokomotiv president Nikolai Naumov reckons a deal could still be done in the summer.
"If the price is, say, £20million then we just won’t buy," he said.
"But we will definitely return to the question of buying Pavlyuchenko in the summer.
"Let’s see what the situation is then at Tottenham, Lokomotiv and in the life of the footballer."
