The midfielder Vendel has not yet joined the Zenit team, and there is less than two weeks left until the start of the new Russian championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Vendel's return to Russia is delayed due to the possibility of transferring to another team. According to Metaratings, Vendel's representatives are actively searching for opportunities for the player's transfer.
The 28-year-old player, who will turn 28 at the end of the summer, has a chance to move to a new club. It is known that at the beginning of June, Vendel was expected to move to Botafogo, but the agreement did not materialize.
The midfielder's current contract with Zenit is still set for three seasons and will last until the middle of 2028. The Transfermarkt website estimates the player's value at 18 million euros.
The situation regarding Vendel's future is still unclear, but his transfer remains an important issue for the team. Negotiations are ongoing to reach an agreement between the team and the player.
A definite decision is expected to be made in the coming days, as preparations for the new season have begun.
