Arshavin Not Going to Barcelona
Andrei Arshavin will not be going to Barcelona. His current team Zenit St Petersburg have told Barcelona their €15 million offer is not enough.
"Barcelona did not improve their offer of €15m, we therefore decided to end negotiations," Zenit said. They also added that they have not received any other offers for Arshavin.
Zenit have offered Arshavin a two-year extension to his contract. He already earns more than any other footballer in Russia, and Zenit have given him two weeks to decide his future. He did not play in Zenit’s first Premier League match since Euro 2008 on Sunday, a 5-1 win over Tomsk.
Coach Dick Advocaat says Arshavin will not be picked until he makes up his mind.
Advocaat has already said “something will happen this week. He has to do what he wants. It is disappointing that he is leaving but that's the way it goes."
