Striker Sardar Azmoun only trains individually at Bayer 04 Leverkusen. He should and wants to leave the double winners. Meanwhile, there is movement in the matter
Since attacker Sardar Azmoun was absent from the Werkself training session without excuse, the striker has only been working individually. He has no prospects at the double winners, should and wants to leave the club soon – and is still waiting for things to happen, although there is now movement in the matter: a report in the Bild newspaper, according to which Sevilla FC and Dubai are options for an Azmoun transfer,
There have also been loose inquiries from Saudi Arabia. However, the political tensions and conflicts that have repeatedly erupted in the past between Azmoun’s home country of Iran and Saudi Arabia are likely to make a transfer rather complicated.
Azmoun is said to be Sevilla’s clear preferred solution
Seville FC want to sign Azmoun as a replacement for striker Youssef En-Nesyri, who is on his way to Fenerbahce Istanbul. The Andalusians are aware that Azmoun is not a goalscorer like En-Nesyri, who recently scored 16 La Liga goals. Nevertheless, the attacker, who is tied to Bayer until 2027, is said to be the clear desired solution. The catch, and this has long been clear, is that Sevilla only want to loan Azmoun – with a maximum purchase obligation linked to a certain number of games.
Meanwhile, the clubs in Dubai want to buy Azmoun, who is on loan to AS Roma for 2023/24, even though a loan to the desert state is out of the question for Bayer anyway. The risk of the market and market value collapsing would be too great if Azmoun did not deliver as desired during a loan. The question remains as to which club can ultimately reach an agreement for the Iranian international striker, who does not want to sacrifice his salary, to move to
Bayer is aiming for a direct sale of Azmoun
The Werkself are of course aiming for a direct sale, so a transfer to Dubai would suit them just fine. And Azmoun? He, who arrived from Zenit St. Petersburg for €2.5 million in January 2022, is reportedly open to both options, but would probably prefer a transfer to the desert if the contractual conditions are right
One thing is clear: a solution should be found as quickly as possible. Bayer and Azmoun – it was never really a good fit.
