The leader of the Russian football prime league, Moscow's club CSKA, has signed a contract, breaking Russian records, with Croatian forward Ivica Olic, Sergei Aksyonov, the club's press secretary, officially confirmed.
"The contract is effective for 4 years, and it is worth 5 mln euro, which CSKA's president Yevgeny Giner mentioned while speaking on the Sport telechannel," Aksyonov said.
The newcomer became the best striker of Croatia last year, scoring 21 goals in the country's championship, the press secretary said.

"Everything will depend on whether proper documents and a transfer list from Croatia are prepared." As for the application papers it takes just a day or two to submit them," the press secretary elaborated.
Ivica Olic is 23 years old. He took part in the World Cup in Japan and Korea in 2002, scoring a goal in two games.
