French club Rennes are bracing themselves for an offer from Zenit St. Petersburg for midfielder Yann M’Vila.
The 22-year-old is set to leave Rennes this summer, although the expected flurry of bids for his services have not arrived. M’Vila was strongly linked with Arsenal, Real Madrid and Inter, but none have pushed to claim his signature yet.
Now, according to French radio station RMC, M’Vila has emerged as a primary target for Russian champions Zenit, who are expected to soon submit a bid.
Moving to Russia may not be what the France international had in mind but, having appeared to set his face firmly against staying at Rennes, a switch east may be the best show in town for the enforcer.
Having won a marathon Russian Premier League season, coach Luciano Spalletti is keen to add to his squad ahead of Zenit’s Champions League tilt and signing M’Vila would be a real coup.
The midfielder is thought to have put off some potential suitors by a display of indiscipline at Euro 2012, where he refused to shake then-coach Laurent Blanc’s hand.
