CSKA Moscow are putting defender Mario Fernandes up for sale.Izvestia says CSKA intermediaries have circulated Fernandez's name across Europe as the Russian giants seek to raise €25 million from his sale in January.
Manchester United, Barcelona and Arsenal have all been approached and asked for tickets from CSKA for their scouts to attend Russian Premier League games in the coming weeks.
CSKA sports director Oleg Yarovinsky confirmed: "CSKA are always ready to consider interesting proposals, but at the moment the offers the serious European clubs have made to us for Fernandez did not appeal."
Fernandes joined CSKA two years ago from Gremio for €10.5 million.
