Thiago Ribeiro, manager of Zenit midfielder Wendel, in an interview “Sports Express” He stated that the ultimatum the player gave to Zenit, who requested an urgent transfer to Flamengo, did not correspond to the facts.
“These are all fake, my client did not ask for information about the transfer. He is currently holidaying in Brazil and enjoying his holiday. “If there is any development regarding the transfer market, it will be officially announced,” he said.
25-year-old Wendel missed all of Zenit’s preparations for the 2022/23 season. Without him, the blue-white-blue won the Russian Super Cup by beating CSKA in a penalty shoot-out. Wendel could be transferred to Brazilian Flamengo, but the Russian club was not happy with the offer he received.
Wendel has been playing for Zenit since the autumn of 2020. The Brazilian player played 33 matches in all competitions with the blue-whites last season and scored 9 goals and made 4 assists in these matches.
