Zenit end Arshavin talks with Barca

Zenit St Petersburg have ended talks with Barcelona over the transfer of Andrei Arshavin due to the Catalan giants’ failure to meet their asking price.

The 27-year-old, who played a starring role for Guus Hiddink’s Russia as they reached the Euro 2008 semi-finals last month, has spoken of his “dream” to move to the Nou Camp.
