“Neto had half of Europe following him,” sporting director Stefano Antonelli told Radio Sportiva on Wednesday. “We were just waiting for the decisive offer.
“Zenit were the team who pressed hardest for him and it was pleasing to sell him to one of the top 10 clubs in Europe.”
The 24-year-old, who agreed a four-and-a-half-year deal with the Russians, was also strongly linked with Napoli last month.
