Former Russia and NHL star Pavel Bure is close to taking over CSKA Moscow as president or GM of the Russian club, a Sport-Express report indicates.

The newspaper’s sources suggest that the «Russian Rocket» is on the shortlist of potential candidates to take up the leading roles within the club’s management structure.

«There isn’t much to comment on. Am I following the situation? I am, as much as anyone,» Bure said.

The GM role is currently taken up by Sergey Nemchinov, while the position of the club’s president remains vacant after Vyacheslav Fetisov resigned.
