After the January transfer to Empoli was blocked for missing the deadline, Zenit have instead loaned Miha Mevlja to FC Rostov.
The Slovenia international had been snapped up on loan on January 31, but the paperwork went through a few minutes late.
After weeks of discussions and appeals, during which he had been training in Italy, Empoli eventually gave up on the player this week.
Zenit St Petersburg announced this evening that Mevlja has been loaned out to Rostov instead.
It is a return to the club he left in August 2017.
