Catalan sports paper Sport claims that a representative of Zenit Saint-Petersburg forward and Russian international Andrei Arshavin (27) has talked this week with the Russian club trying to reopen the negotiations between Zenit and Barcelona (read more here).Zenit would have promised Arshavin that they were willing to wait until Barcelona raises its bid to 20 million euro°, the price that would have been offered by Tottenham. The club wants to take the wish of the player to join Barcelona into account but doesn't want to lose money.
The board of Zenit Saint-Petersburg has understood that no club will pay the initial asking price of 30 million euro° for Arshavin. The Russian champions have therefore accepted the fact that the player will leave for a transfer fee around 20 million euro°. Arshavin said to Russian journalists that he hopes the transfer will be finalized in the next two weeks.
Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo claims that Dennis Lachter, Arshavin's agent, was in London on Thursday to hold talks with Chelsea about a transfer of the Russian player to the English Premier League club.
