Robert Renan is attracting interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Zenit St Petersburg appear to be bracing themselves for Premier League interest in defender Robert Renan.
That’s according to 90Min, who claim that Zenit could lose Brazilian duo Malcom and Renan this summer.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are all believed to be chasing Renan.
Renan only joined Zenit from Corinthians in January but is already attracting enormous interest.
The 19-year-old is certainly a project player at this point but he did earn a first call-up to the Brazilian national team in March.
Renan is contracted until 2028 and would surely cost a handsome fee should he move on this summer.
Arsenal have wanted Robert Renan for a while
Arsenal appear to be the strongest suitor of all those allegedly interested.
Goal reported way back in October that Arsenal had made contact to sign Renan from Corinthians.
Zenit ended up winning the race just three months later but it makes sense that Arsenal would still be interested.
Edu started and finished his playing career with Corinthians and even became the club’s director of football after his playing days ended.
If anybody will know about the talents emerging from the Corinthians ranks, it’s Edu.
The one point of hesitation for us is that Renan is a left-sided centre back.
Arsenal already have two options there run Gabriel Magalhaes and January signing Jakub Kiwior.
Arsenal are more likely to target another right-footed centre back this summer with Renan maybe not an immediate priority.
That could leave the door open for another club – such as Tottenham, who need a left-sided defender – to swoop in and sign Renan this summer.
