Sardar Azmoun @ Zenit St. Petersburg 2021/22

[The]

Yeah cool story but Azmoun is top class, he hasn't lacked the coaching nor natural ability, the only thing lacking in his career is regular top-class competition. Comparisons to the likes of ARJ and Karim are lol.

I guess we'll find out if he is as good as the hype around him.

He's definitely a very talented striker, specifically a great finisher and good at positioning himself offensively. One of the best ever in Asia.

But there are also things he lacks (Stamina, consistent defensive hustle and arguably maturity), so not a guarantee he will succeed in a high quality league.

His success will also depend on what system and role he ends up playing as well.

Rooting for him.and I hope this move happens so he can challenge himself and grow as a player.

If this goes through, I think this is pretty easily the greatest transfer window in our history. Plenty of moves happening and this would be the major one

That rumor re: Roma looking into shomudorov just further confirms that azmoun to leverkusen is nearing a deal with them.

Also seems like leverkusen have a bidding war going on currently with a bunch of premier league teams Leicester, Everton, Villa, and wolves all after him.

Sucks bc I was looking most forward to seeing Sardar with Bailey but at this point seems like they’re waiting to offload Bailey before making a move on Sardar so hope it just gets over with already.

One good season at Leverkusen and Bayern will go all the way to get him. That is what Bayern does the best, make the rivals weaker.

most of their fans seem happy to see him go at that price

If Sardar was Polish (i am not even saying Brazil or ARG), his price tag was at least twice of the current one

High double digits (15-20) in his first season and a top 4 place for Bayer and we could very well see him replacing Lewandowski next year! Call me a dreamer but I'll refer to this thread again in a year!

Agreed, though I think another reason why this is not more than $20 million is because he was in the last year of his contract with Zenit; if he had let's say 3-4 years left, this number could be around $35-$40 million

The new coach of Leverkusen, who was the coach of Young Boys Bern before, will probably play with two strikers.
It looks like they want to sign Azmoun and Arthur Cabral from FC Basel. So there is no more space for Alario and Schick in the squad.

Probably no space for Alario, but it is more likely going to be an Azmoun and Schick combo up front with Cabral as the backup for those two.

No way they bench Schick after that performance he just put on in the Euro’s also had a solid season for leverkusen too. Sardar and Schick have got to be the starters going forward if they use 2 strikers
