Bykov stays in Moscow, moves to CSKA

One of the best players of last edition of Russian Superleague A, Sergey Bykov opted to changed clubs and move from Dynamo to CSKA Moscow. The player had a better offer from Dynamo but chose CSKA due to Euroleague participation.

Although Dynamo was desperate to keep its leader and offered him a rumoured multiyear deal worth 1.7 million euros per year, the player chose CSKA with slightly less money (around 1.5 million euros per season).
