Zenit St Petersburg’s Wendel becomes latest midfielder linked with Barcelona

Barcelona’s search for a new midfielder continues with the club now being linked with a move for Zenit St Petersburg’s Wendel.

Russia outlet Sport-Express reports the Catalans are “showing interest” in the 26-year-old Brazilian this summer.

Wendel has also been linked with a move to Galatasaray but it seems they are yet to make an acceptable offer to Zenit.

The Brazilian is thought to be valued at around 20 million euros and has a contract at the club until 2027.

Wendel is the latest in an ever-growing list of midfielders being linked with Barcelona, although it seems the club’s top priority is now Nico Williams.
