Zenit offered Ivan Ananyev extend his contract with the club and send him on loan to Sao Paulo. This was reported by a source close to the matter. Today January 11, Moscow CSKA announced the transfer of Ananyev from Zenit.
Ivan was expected to extend his contract and be loaned to Brazil for his development, but the player declined this option. As an alternative, he was offered the Zenit-2 option, which also did not suit the player.
