Galatasaray has decided to withdraw from negotiations to sign Wendel from Zenit St. Petersburg. Despite making a final offer of €17 million, including bonuses, Zenit remained firm in their stance.
Zenit, determined not to reduce their asking price, rejected the offer. The Russian club is holding out for €30 million, with a significant portion of this amount required upfront.

Wendel, who is keen on joining Galatasaray, now faces uncertainty as the Turkish club has suspended their pursuit. Should Zenit reconsider their asking price, the transfer may be revisited in the future.
