Moscow - French international midfielder Remy Cabella has left Saint-Etienne to join FK Krasnodar, the Russian Premier League side announced on Thursday.

"The Bulls have completed an agreement with Saint-Etienne for the transfer of the midfielder," Krasnodar announced in a statement on its website.

"Every detail is approved. Caballa is going to come to our town and have a medical in the coming days."

Krasnodar, who face Porto in a Champions League preliminary at the start of August after qualifying for the first time, have announced neither the transfer fee nor the length of the contract.
