Zenit signed a contract with Fernandez for one year with the possibility of a season extension
Zenit announced on its official website the transfer of Brazilian defender Mario Fernandez.
“Football club “Zenith” welcomes Mario Fernandez in St. Petersburg and wishes new titles in blue-white-blue colors!” the team said in a statement. The agreement with the player was signed for one year with the possibility of extension for the season.
The rights to Fernandez belong to CSKA. The communications director of the Moscow club, Kirill Breido, said earlier that in the winter the parties agreed on the actual termination of the contract and entered into a gentleman’s agreement not to announce this, as it was unprofitable for the team.
In 2023, the defender played on loan for the Brazilian Internacional, but on April 21 he left the club ahead of schedule for personal reasons. Since 2017, the defender has been involved in matches for the Russian national team, with which he reached the quarterfinals of the 2018 World Cup.
