Nino is unlikely to leave Russia in this transfer window. According to ge information, Zenit stopped Fluminense’s attack and does not intend to sell the athlete. The club’s position is to keep Nino in the team, without any opening of negotiations.
Clubs like Cruzeiro and Palmeiras have shown interest in Nino, but the situation is particularly worrying for Fluminense, which dreams of the return of the winning idol of the Libertadores 2023. The defender had accepted the invitation of the Tricolor, but everything would depend on the will of Zenit, who said no.
The Russian club is reportedly open to receiving offers mid-year, but there is no guarantee of success. It should be noted that this is not the first time that Zenit has made negotiations with Brazilian clubs difficult, with negotiations with the Russians being complex.
Yesterday, Mattheus Montenegro assumed the presidency of Fluzão and said that he was waiting for a response from Zenit, but the defender wants to return to Fluzão. The fact is that Nino has a contract with the Russians until 2028.
Zenit’s refusal leaves Fluminense at square one. Tricolor was counting on Nino to replace Thiago Silva, announced as reinforcement for Porto this Saturday (20).
