Marcao rejected Zenit because "he wants to play for Sevilla"

In recent days, there has been a lot of speculation about Marcao's departure from his current club Galatasaray. A number of European clubs, including Sevilla and Zenit, have shown interest in the Brazilian.

Although the interest of the Sevillians was earlier, the economic offer of the Russians was higher: 15 million compared to the 13 of the Sevillians, although the Spaniards deny that this amount has been put on the table.

However, Marcao is clear that, if he were to leave, he would go to the Andalusian side. The daily 'Milliyet' reported that the defender had rejected Zenit and openly admitted to his teammates that "he wants to play for Sevilla".

The Brazilian's objective is to "develop his career" at the Sanchez-Pizjuan and he has also asked Galatasaray to only listen to offers from Europe. At 26, he would be a great addition to Julen Lopetegui's backline.
