Lucciano Spalletti: We expressed no interest in Krasic

Zenit St. Petersburg manager Lucciano Spallettti, who recently signed a new contract with the Russian champions, claimed that the Russian club showed no initiative in signing the Serbian international Milos Krasic.

«A lot has been written about Krasic in the press lately, maybe even too much. Perhaps it is profitable to someone. No one can argue that he is a big player, but we haven’t made an approach to sign him.»

«As for Zarate, I admit we were interested, but he didn’t want to move to Russia. Snejder? When it comes to players of his level, things get very difficult, trust me,» the Italian said.
