Sounds like he's joining Zenit. Our bid was too low and they didn't even bother giving us a response.
How are Russian clubs even able to buy foreign players right now? And why are players willing to move?! It's a major risk and a dead-end for them, given European clubs won't buy from Russian ones right now. According to this our offer was €6mil up front, with an additional €5mil in add-ons. https://www.meutimao.com.br/noticia...es-ao-corinthians-pela-compra-de-robert-renan
Really is career suicide if he goes to Zenit, but sounds like it’s a done deal. Hopefully it’s just the Russian press jumping the gun, and we do actually get him (not that I think we will whatsoever).
What’s interesting is that foreign press have now credited us with two similarly sized bids for two similarly highly rated 19 year old left footed CBs.
