CSKA Moscow has lined up Manchester United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak as a replacement for Igor Akinfeev.
Current number one Akinfeev could be out for up to six months with a knee injury and he is set for more scans on the problem.
The initial fears, though, are that the injury is serious and CSKA have drawn up a list of possible replacements should Akinfeev - once linked to United before David De Gea joined - miss a significant portion of the season.
Kuszczak is the club's favoured target if Akinfeev is out long-term and United are willing to sanction a deal.
The club has been keen to shift the Polish goalkeeper all summer but have failed to find a buyer. With De Gea the first choice and Anders Lindegaard battling him to be number one, Kuszczak does not appear to have a future at Old Trafford.
Kuszczak, 29, said earlier this summer he needs first team football and he would be given just that if CSKA press ahead with their move.
