Juventus winger Milos Krasic's agent revealed that the player does not plan to move back to Russia.

Krasic has been strongly linked with a move to Zenit St Petersburg, with the Russian transfer window closing on February 24 but his agent has stepped up to deny the rumours.

Speaking to Italian news site tuttomercatoweb.com, the agent said: "I can only say that as it stands right now, Milos is not thinking about moving to Russia,"

"He was in Russia for seven years (at CSKA Moscow) and even though Zenit is a great club, he wants to remain on this side of Europe.

"The transfer window (in Russia) closes at the end of the month and I cannot exclude that he might change his mind although I think it would be very difficult.

"He knows that at Juve he will not find space but he is aware of his choices."

Krasic, who has been linked with a move to Chelsea, joined Juventus from CSKA Moscow in the summer of 2010 and scored seven goals in 33 league appearances last season.

However, since the arrival of coach Antonio Conte to Juventus this summer, the 27-year-old has had limited playing time, making just seven appearances for the Turin giants so far.
