About the player
Wendel joined Zenit Saint Petersburg in October 2020 in a deal worth a reported €20.3 million plus €4 million in bonuses, arriving from Sporting CP with a Primeira Liga title and two domestic cups already on his record. He had made his name at Fluminense, scoring six goals in 42 appearances before the move to Portugal in January 2018, where a further 54 league games and four goals followed for Sporting.
At Zenit, the midfielder has become one of the squad's fixtures, collecting five Russian Premier League titles, the Russian Cup and four Russian Super Cups during his time in Saint Petersburg.
His future at the club was thrown into doubt in January 2025, when a transfer to Botafogo was reported. That deal stalled and was ultimately voided in May 2025 because of sanctions.
