Zenit head coach Sergei Semak confirmed the existence of talks with CSKA defender Mario Fernandez. Words lead the way sports24.
Zenit is definitely behaving right in the case of Mario Fernandez. We started negotiations with the player only after CSKA lost the priority right. It is not yet known how our talks with Mario will progress,” Semak said.
The possible transfer of Fernandez to Zenit was announced on July 6 by Brazilian journalist Alexandre Prezel. The actor has repeatedly stated in numerous interviews that he plans to play in Russia only for CSKA.
Before the last game of CSKA in the 2021/22 season, it was learned that the 31-year-old former defender of the Russian national team, Mario Fernandez, decided to take a break from his career indefinitely. His contract with the Russian club expires in 2024. According to media reports, the player and CSKA terminated the contract in the winter of 2023 with a gentleman’s agreement between the parties.
In December, CSKA allowed Fernandez to stay at Internacional on a one-year loan. It was learned that he left the team in April 2023.
