WHY IRANIAN PLAYERS DONT GET INTO TOP TEAMS IN BETTER LEAGUES

[Ghermez Agha]

1- Weak league
2- Lack of contacts
3- Lack of professionalism
4- Lack of good agents
5- Lack of hunger
6- Bache nanehs
7- Refusing to move out of comfort zone
8- Dallals

This is the most accurate answer you'll get, I'd only add racism in there too.

Does not have to be Real Madrid.
There are 20 teams in each of the top 5 leagues. With the starting team, subs and reserves they normally have about 30-40 players in their team. That is at least 400 players in those leagues, and none of our players make the cut!!!!
You look at Jahanbakhsh, he had to skip the games with Israeli team last year. Before it was our German raised player, Dejagah, This year it is HajSafi and Shojai. Does not make for great publicity for these teams. They are business operations, that have to respond to their share holders.

That might not be the only reason, but it definitely contributes to overall decision.

Or it could be that there are better European players that don't need a work permit.

Yes not wanting to play against Israel is why Real Madrid has refrained from signing our entire TM.

All these teams don't want to put up with the baggage that comes with Iranian players.
None of our players can play ISRAEL. If any of these teams are drawn in games with teams from Israel in champions league or Europa league, they will get a lot of negative publicity.

That is the main reason.

End of day, there are a lot of Jewish investors in these teams, and they don't want Iranian players.
