A couple days ago, Sport-express.ru had reported that the Russian team is going to sell its striker in the summer transfer window.
Azmoun capped another brilliant season for Zenit by finishing as the 2019-20 Russian Premier League (RPL) top scorer with 17 goals.
Zenit coach Sergei Semak needs the player since the Russian team will have to participate in the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League and Azmoun can play a vital role in the competition.
