Argentine stopper Esekjel Garaj will play in Zenit next season - this was confirmed by the Russian club and Benfica, of which Garaj was a member.

Zenit and Zimus were close to bringing in an excellent defender, but the deal fell through at the last minute. Now, however, everything is over, and it is believed that the role of the coach of the Russian team Andre Villas-Boas was crucial in the negotiations.

"An agreement has been reached with Benfica regarding Garaj. The contract will be signed on July 1, and the footballer will join the team after the World Cup," Zenit said in a statement.

Garaj will sign a five-year contract and, although it has not yet been announced, it is believed that Zenit Benfica will pay around €25 million for this transfer.
