Though Alexander Dyukov has remained tight-lipped over Bruno Alves departure, he has denied interest in Palermo’s Matias Silvestre and Bologna’s Alessandro Diamanti
Zenit St. Petersburg President, Alexander Dyukov, has shrugged off the rumours linking the Russian outfit with Palermo centre back, Matias Silvestre, and Bologna striker, Alessandro Diamanti.
These reports in Russia media emerged after Zenit had put http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Danko-Lazovic-c10188, on the transfer list for the upcoming summer transfer window.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aleksandr-Kerzhakov-c4569 can be regarded as a real threat upfront.
Zenit, who had tried to sign Napoli’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Lavezzi-c13073 during January, seem to have lost the race of signing the Argentine player once again as the mega-rich Russian outfit, Anzhi Makhachkala, are set to grab his signatures under
their noses this time around.
Consequently, Spalletti has set his sights on Diamanti after failing to compete with the Dagestani club on financial grounds. The former West Ham United striker scored eight goals from 30 league appearances last season.
Silvestre, who has been in a sphere of interest from AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603, Rubin Kazan and Tottenham Hotspur, is likely to leave his current club for greener pastures.
Though the Kazan based club and the Italian outfit have reportedly launched initial bids, in the reign of 12 million Euros, for the Argentine stopper and while Harry Redknapp has shown some interest in the promising defender in
the past, the former Boca http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Junior-c20060 man is eagerly awaiting a chance to work under Spalletti.
Dyukov has admitted that though he is interested in bringing more Italian players to the St. Petersburg club in near future, Zenit are not keeping tabs on Silvestre and Diamanti.
“These are good players but we are not interested in signing them.” The Russian national was quoted as saying.
Commenting on the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bruno-Alves-c8108, the 44-year old has confirmed that Zenit have not received any proposal from the Italian giants, Juventus, regarding a potential move for the Portuguese national.
