Zenit team management chairman Aleksandr Medvedev answered a question about when midfielder Vendel will join the team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The player is currently staying in Brazil, even though there is less than a week left until the first official match of the season. According to Medvedev, Vendel is scheduled to fly from Brazil on Monday.
It should be noted that at the beginning of June, Vendel was supposed to move from Zenit to Botafogo, but the transfer of the 27-year-old Brazilian player did not take place. In the first round of the Russian championship, Zenit will host the Rostov team.
The match will take place on July 20, Sunday. The teams will take to the field in a head-to-head match, playing their first game of the new season.
This game is important for Zenit fans, as the team aims to achieve strong results in the new season.
