UEFA Cup winners Zenit St. Petersburg have revealed that they have turned down a second bid from Barça worth €15 million for their playmaker Andrei Arshavin.

"Spanish football club Barcelona refused to improve their original 15-million-euro offer for our striker Arshavin," Zenit general director Maxim Mitrofanov said.

"We are not holding any talks with any other clubs concerning the transfer of our forward Arshavin," added Mitrofanov.

Earlier, a Zenit spokesman confirmed that they were in talks with Barça for Arshavin.

"Arshavin wants to move to Barcelona - he doesn't want to play anywhere else," said a Zenit spokesperson to BBC Sport.

"Barcelona have made an offer but we are still negotiating with them. I don't know when a decision will be made but I think Arshavin will leave the club,"
