Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic could be set for a move to Zenit St Petersburg during the January window and has already begun discussions with the club, according to Simon Jones of MailOnline.
The 32-year-old's contract is set to expire in six months, but Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is reportedly happy to see him leave on a free transfer before the end of the month. The deal could even be completed over the upcoming weekend.
Zenit are believed to be offering Ivanovic a three-and-a-half year contract despite his age, which could be a tempting offer for the Serb and probably amounts to more time than any of the English clubs interested in his services would be willing to offer.
