The Russia international was one of the finds of the Euro 2008 competition, having already piqued interest during his club's successful UEFA Cup campaign.

Zenit spokesman Konstantin Sarsania said: "On Thursday, players from the national team return to our training camp.

"Arshavin and his agent Pavel Andreev are to clarify their position with us then.

"We do not want to sell Arshavin. That's exactly why we need Andrei to meet the bosses of the club - to understand what he is really after.

"My understanding was that he would like to go and play abroad. But he isn't only interested in moving to Barcelona.

"There's also Chelsea. Andrei never rejected the idea of moving there.

"The Chelsea managers know the situation and have already talked to his agent."
