The Russian outfit are looking to add a couple of big names to their squad and according to reports, Nani is one of them.
The Russian transfer window closes tonight, (Thursday) and they are hoping that they can talk the player into a big money deal.
It must be said that the Portugal international has suffered this season, he was subbed in the game with Everton after a well below par display and that lead to him being dropped for the next outing.
Zenit general director Maxim Mitrofanov said: "It's true we are negotiating for Nani and Moutinho, but Hulk and Witsel were our top priorities."
