The contract of Geinrikh with Pakhtakor expired at the end of last season. The club offered new contract to him, but he wished to try his luck in Russia. Geinrikh was on trial at Volga, but soon he returned to Uzbekistan.

Tashkent club said Pakhtakor inked new contract with Alexander Geinrikh and the club registered him to the AFC Champions League.

Geinrikh said Pakhtakor is his home. “I developed as player here and I know everyone here and they know me. I want to play in Russian league, but after assessing pro and con, I decided to continue career in Pakhtakor.”

“I will try to prove Miodrag Radulovic that I deserve to play in main team. I want to contribute to new victories of the club both in internal and international competition,” he said.
