Former Juve midfielder Marchisio in talks to terminate his Zenit contract (Goal)

Former Juventus midfielder Claudio Marchisio is in talks to terminate his Zenit St Petersburg contract early.

Tuttomercatoweb and Goal.com both report Marchisio is ready to leave Zenit, less than a year after arriving on a free transfer.

The 33-year-old was released by Juve in August 2018 and signed a contract with Zenit until 2020 a month later.

However, continued knee problems have limited him to just 15 games for the Russian club, although he did manage to score twice.

The ex-Italy international is best known for his association with the Old Lady, playing 389 times, winning seven Scudetti and reaching two Champions League Finals.
