Zenit maintains firmness with Palmeiras and conditions Nino's sale to Russian Championship title
According to reports from Bolavip Brasil, Zenit has taken a firm stance in transfer negotiations with Palmeiras over defender Nino. The Russian club has set a condition that Nino's sale will only be approved if Zenit wins the Russian Championship title. This suggests Zenit values the player highly and does not want to sell him mid-season unless the club achieves its primary sporting objective, creating a challenging situation for Palmeiras' pursuit of the defender.
