Russian club Zenit Saint Petersburg has received an offer from fast food chain Burger King to change its name to Zenit Burger King, respected journalist Artur Petrosyan tweeted earlier today.
Zenit Burger King?
Zenit have received a €6.8-million offer from @BurgerKing to change team's name to "Zenit Burger King".

Petrosyan claims the offer to change the club's name was worth €6.8 million (probably 'per year'), but the whole story reeks of a publicity stunt by Burger King more than anything.
However, talented artist @RedStarLvrpool offered a take on what a possible Zenit Burger King logo could look like:
