Zenits Summer Reinforcements Expected Despite Transfer Setbacks, Says Dmitry Radchenko

Former Zenit player Dmitry Radchenko commented on the potential collapse of the transfer of Brazilian midfielder Gerson from Flamengo.

«If Gerson’s transfer to Zenit falls through, it will be quite unfortunate, as the club is counting on him. We aren’t privy to the initial agreements between the club and the player. The involvement of agents is a common situation. Trust me, Zenit will make acquisitions during the summer transfer window, despite such setbacks,» Radchenko said in an interview with Championship correspondent Vladislav Kruglov.

Earlier, reports emerged that Gerson had accepted an offer from Al-Nassr, informing his team of his decision, and clearly indicated that under the current circumstances, he is unwilling to move to Russia, even though that was supposed to be his new destination.
