Zenit St Petersburg spend £64m to sign Hulk and Witsel
Brazil striker Hulk, who had talks with Chelsea in May, has joined Zenit St Petersburg from Porto in a transfer deal worth £32m.
The 26-year-old has signed a five-year deal with the Russian champions, who are managed by Luciano Spalletti.
Zenit have also completed the signing, again on a five-year contract and for a similar transfer fee, of midfielder Axel Witsel, 23, from Benfica.
Witsel, capped 30 times by Belgium, began his career at Standard Liege.
The new European big spenders
Backed by Russian energy giant Gazprom, Zenit St Petersburg boast a squad that also includes Portuguese duo Bruno Alves and Danny. They were also linked with a move for Manchester United's Nani.
Hulk, who can also play on the wing, had talks with Roberto Di Matteo's Chelsea after Didier Drogba announced he was leaving Stamford Bridge in the wake of the club's Champions League triumph over Bayern Munich.
The Brazilian joined Porto from Japanese side Tokyo Verdy in 2008 and scored 54 goals for them in 103 league matches.
Hulk, who appeared for Brazil in this summer's Olympic football tournament, and Witsel have been brought in to help Zenit's Champions League campaign which begins on 18 September away to Malaga.
Zenit have also been drawn in the same group as AC Milan and Anderlecht.
"We were trying to sign them before the 3 September deadline for the Champions League so they can play for us in that competition as well as the Russian League," said Zenit St Petersburg spokesman Dmitry Tsimmerman.
Zenit are currently top of the Russian league with 16 points from seven matches.
Zenith like most other clubs (Except Liverpool :P) seems to be disregarding Platini's FFP nonsense. I know that the original time-scale was lengthened, with a phased implementation over five years meaning that the full rules will apply in 2015 instead of 2012. The 2011–12 season is the first season which counts towards the 2014–15 assessment. There will be some clever accounting going on by the clubs to circumvent this rule. I hope Platini has his abacus handy
