You are right Chase regarding the fact that he is a topstar in Russia and his wage is as big as he wants to
but i've heard that there is the possibillity of him leaving Zenit to join Barcelona, would be a great deal for all of the sides involved
there are a lot players playing in Russia who dont want to leave their country, and even foreigners say that their status there is so good that they dont want to leave
our Croatian player Dario Srna for example, he plays for Shakhtar Donetsk and many clubs are interrested in him but he refused them all because he is Captain of the squad, the wage is right and the fans love him, so why change
