Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic could be heading to Russia this weekend if talks are completed according to a report by Daily Mail.

Ivanovic is in talks over a move to Zenit St Petersburg who are keen to sign him on a three-and-a-half-year deal.

32-year-old Ivanovic joined Chelsea in 2008 and has been a key player for Chelsea before losing his place in the first team this season.

Ivanovic has six months left in his Chelsea contract but Chelsea are willing to let him leave for free.
