Fluminense is keen on acquiring Zenit's defender Nino and is ready to start a new round of negotiations with the Saint Petersburg club, according to the Brazilian publication Globo. The club's management has admitted that the transfer would be challenging due to Nino's importance to Zenit, but they remain hopeful that the player's personal desire could be a decisive factor in the upcoming negotiations. Previously, Fluminense had made a transfer offer of €8 million for Nino, but Zenit has indicated that they would only consider releasing the player if the offer reaches at least €12 million. Nino joined Zenit from Fluminense in the winter of 2024. In the last season, he participated in 25 matches across all competitions, scoring two goals and assisting two others. His current contract with Zenit extends until the summer of 2028, and according to Transfermarkt, his market value stands at €11 million.
