Petersburg “Zenith” wants to buy from the Brazilian “Corinthians” midfielder Gustavo Mantua, who plays for the Russian club on loan, according to Lance.
According to the source, the Blue-White-Blues offered 2-3 million euros for the 21-year-old Brazilian. Corinthians may accept an offer of 3 million euros, but in this case will transfer a smaller percentage of the economic rights to the player to the Russian side. Corinthians itself owns 90% of the rights to Mantua.
If the sale of Mantuan to Zenit is confirmed for the amount that the Russians plan to pay, then the Brazilian team will retain about 40% of the rights to the athlete.
Zenit rented Mantua in July last year, signing a one-year deal with an option to buy. In 23 games this season, the midfielder has scored four goals and provided one assist.
