Maksim Sergeyevich Maksimov (Russian: Максим Сергеевич Максимов; born 4 November 1995) is a Russian football player who plays as a centre-forward for Russian First League club Arsenal Tula.
Club career
He started his professional career in Lithuania with Atlantas. After moving to Riteriai (known as FK Trakai at the time), he scored 7 goals in 6 games in the Europa League qualifiers, helping his club eliminate Scottish club St Johnstone and Swedish IFK Norrköping. Shortly after he transferred to Macedonian club Vardar. After a long investigation, on 27 May 2019 FIFA banned Maksimov from playing for 4 months and Vardar from acquiring new players for two transfer windows due to irregularities with his transfer.[1]
On 28 August 2019 he signed a 2-year contract with Russian Football National League club Torpedo Moscow.[2]
He made his professional debut in the Russian Football National League for Torpedo on 29 September 2019 in a game against Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk. He started the game and was substituted at half-time.[3] He scored his first Torpedo goal on 12 October 2019, a late winning goal in a 3–2 victory over Spartak-2 Moscow. On 26 November 2019, his contract was dissolved by mutual consent.[4]
On 21 August 2020, he was on trials with Serbian SuperLiga side Napredak Kruševac.[5]
Maksimov made his Russian Premier League debut for Fakel Voronezh on 17 July 2022 against Krasnodar.[6]
On 30 May 2024, Maksimov left Fakel as his contract expired.[7]
