Tver come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Torpedo Vladimir did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Aleksei Leskov steps up from the Torpedo Vladimir academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Aleksei Leskov has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
