According to former Sankt-Petersburg "Zenit" striker Pavel Pogrebnyak, Markus Vendel should stay at the club. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Then his partnership with Jerson Santos will be very strong. Pogrebnyak emphasized in an interview with "Sport-Ekspress" that the connection between Vendel and Jerson will be a great strength for the team.
Their game could make the Russian championship even more attractive. It is worth noting that at the end of last season, Vendel was expected to move to "Botafogo," but this transfer did not happen.
Currently, "Zenit" is still considering the option of selling Markus. Jerson, on the other hand, moved from "Flamengo" to "Zenit" in the summer of 2025.
Their joint play is hoped to further strengthen the team's central line. Thus, the club management and fans want Vendel to stay, which will have a positive impact on the team.
