Brazilian midfielder “Zenith” Wendel talked about the possibility of leaving the team last summer.
“It is true that I have several options for the transition, but the parties could not reach an agreement. My aim was to make all parties happy and Zenit went to great lengths to keep me. I really appreciate this and I want to say that I am happy to play for the club,” Vendela continued his words as follows: Globo Sports.
Wendel joined Zenit in October 2020 from Sporting Lisbon.
In the current season of the Russian Premier League (RPL), the midfielder has appeared in 20 games, scoring seven goals and two assists.
Recall that Wendel was the victim of a high-profile racist scandal at this season’s Russia Cup. In the cup match played against Ulyanovsk, one of the stands threw a banana on the pavement as Wendel was leaving the field. The Ulyanovsk club was fined 500 thousand rubles and was punished by keeping a home match of the Russian Cup under surveillance without spectators.
