Zenit hires Nino, from Fluminense; the defender should not return with the Tricolore


The defender is highly regarded in the Russian club and seen as one of the Tricolor’s strong points

After negotiations progressed, Zenit signed defender Nino, according to initial information from “ge” and confirmed by Lance!. The athlete should not return to the Fluminense squad on January 23rd.




The athlete is expected to be sold for around 5 million euros (R$26.8 million), which would yield around R$16 million for Tricolor, which holds 60% of the defender’s economic rights. The remaining 40% belongs to Criciúma.

At Zenit, Nino is highly appreciated and is treated as an athlete who has managed to establish himself in 2023. The captain of Fernando Diniz’s team won the Libertadores, the Campeonato Carioca and arrived in Brazil.
