Man Utd Transfer News: Zenit To Pay £25 Million For Nani

By Matt Robinson / August 30, 2012

Mail Online, Zenit St Petersburg are preparing a £25 million bid for Manchester United winger Nani. United's talks with the 25-year-old over a new deal at Old Trafford has so far failed to produce a renewal on Nani's contract that runs out in two years time. Despite Nani been linked with a move to White Hart Lane only a few days ago, the player's representatives have reportedly met Zenit officials in Amsterdam to discuss over a deal yesterday that would take him away from the Premier League. Speaking earlier this month, Zenit coach Luciano Spalletti said of the player:

€œThe news about Nani is true. Everything will depend on how much players cost because we won€™t pay excessive amounts of money.€

The Russian champions are now favourites to sign Nani after it was made clear he would have a fight on his hands getting into the first team at United this season after being left out against Fulham on Saturday.
