Sardar Azmoun @ Zenit St. Petersburg 2021/22

[Nokhodi]

These English clubs obviously have alot of money. Even a club like Burnley can complete with most of the traditionally continental clubs in terms of transfer fees.
Even if Zenith agreed, I doubt Azmoun would agree personally with Burnley.

ShiroKhorshid jan, are you denying that Azmoun will give up 1st place Zenit playing in European Football to go the cold fortress that is Turf Moor :

i bet if milan calls, he will go right away, just since his favourite player is ibra and it will be his only chance to play with him before he retires.. just my feeling here
milan or juve? for me idk, milan have some good young players. intresting team.

juve is known for developing body strenght and so on when signing new young players.
im fine with both, milan would indeed be a cool move!

anyway, im also seing this as nothing probably will happen until the summer. but good for azmoun that he is one of the most talked about players now in this window almost everybody has been linked to him. only barca, real, inter, bayern, chelski, pool, al psg and man united left now?

From France: Milan also monitors Azmoun
LISTEN
DS
Iran's Sardar Azmoun is whose contract with Zenit is expiring and seems intent on leaving the Russian club at the end of the season.
Milan would also be closely monitoring the situation of Sardar Azmoun,a striker whose contract with Zenit St. Petersburg is expiring. To report the news are the colleagues of RMC Sport, who report that several European clubs have moved on the player.

Frederic Massara
Lyon had tried to buy Azmoun already in this market session, but the Iranian, unless there are sensational twists and turns, will leave his current team only in June, as a free agent. In addition to the Rossoneri, on the trail of the 95 class striker, recently approached also to Juventus,there would also be Bayer Leverkusen and some Premier League companies.

I agree with everyone who is predicting that Sardar will stay at Zenit to the end of this season. At this point with only nine days left in January, I think that's the most probable outcome. He will get some good playing time in EL too and he could win yet another RPL championship with Zenit. Having said that, if I were him, I would be very active with my agent and any connections I have (past and present) every day in this winter and sprint to land a great spot during the summer transfer window.

Go Sardar!

Burnley Keen on Sardar Azmoun: Report

Burnley Keen on Sardar Azmoun: Report
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Burnley is reportedly keen on striker Sardar Azmoun but faces a battle for his signature with Lyon and Juventus among other interested parties.
The English Premier League side needs to bolster its forward line following the departure of Chris Wood to Newcastle United and has money to spend this month.

Iranian international Azmoun is in the final six months of his contract at Zenit St Petersburg and has scored 10 times in 21 games this season.

The 27-year-old has attracted interest from across Europe and it's believed Burnley has tabled a £8million bid for the player, lancs.live reported.

Zenit prepares to accept that figure but with leading continental clubs eyeing a move, Burnley faces a tough task in signing the former Rubin Kazan striker.

burney are last team in the pl table, 11 pts in 17 games, but have 2-3 games less played than teams above, and only 3 pts to go to safe side of relegationzone.

https://www.livescore.com/en/football/england/premier-league/table/

so better than newcastle who i one pts above burnley with 3 games more played (!) but still a shiiitty move..

[ShiroKhorshid]

Since yesterday Milan interest has again been mentioned in italian papers...Personally i think that could be a great transfer, and theyre on good track for CL football. Giroud is turning 36 for the new season and Zlatan, whose contract ends in summer, even 41.. No doubt that Sardar would get good playing time and he could easily become their #1 striker for years to come.

Winter transfer season is never easy anyways and in Sardar's case with his contract ending in summer, i think it might really be good to wait. He can have a good showing in EL, Betis are a beatable side and besides that, Sardar traditionally has always rocketed in the 2nd half of the season.

[inarsenewetrust]

Yeah dont see that happening, they are welcome to waste their time and try though.

Keep in mind as well, sardar will pocket a similar transfer fee in signing bonus in just a few months when he leaves on a free.

And also Burnley are quite likely to relegate.

[Leicester City]

Damn, even The Athletic is reporting on it now.

I believe Sardar is smart enough to wait until the summer. He is only 1 goal away to have the foreign goal scored record in RPL and that is huge. He gets to play Europa League football and when summer comes he will get a really good deal with a top team like Juventus, Leverkusen or why not Dortmund. Dortmund will sell Haaland very soon. I think it’s a smart choice to not stress into a move, rather just wait until the summer when the transfer market is more hot. Have a great weekend everyone, Cheers 🍻

I’m glad everyone seems to be coming around to this realization. Idk about Juventus and Dortmund in summer, but it’s clear that the teams trying for sardar now are either in a rough state like Lyon, burnley, etc. or are trying to essentially get him for free from Zenit, which is not going to happen. As I said previously, Sardar will likely play out his contract with Zenit, then have a larger pool of teams wanting him in summer. I again say temper your expectations, because Juve, Milan, etc. if they’re still interested will nickel and dime Sardar on his wages. Most likely are more mid-table clubs who value him more. Unfortunately, but understandably, big teams want players that are more “proven”. Sardar has to prove himself in a leverkusen type situation to demand what we all know he deserves financially. Juve will still be skeptical of him in summer, that won’t change.

[ShiroKhorshid]

Dont you guys think that he wants to play CL next season, and that could aswell be a reason for him to wait until summer? Neither with Leverkusen or Juve its certain, tight race in both leagues. In case of Lyon, possibly not even EL next season... No comment about Burnley Murnley.

[sam20]

He will join Bayer Leverkusen in the Summer. Will be great to watch him play in the Bundesliga and bang in goals on a weekly basis before the World Cup rolls on. Exciting times ahead for us people.

100%

That would definitely be the best move for him. One can argue that Juventus would be the best move but it has more doubts if you ask me. - Would they plan to even use him as main starter? Were they going to purchase someone else as the actual long term replacement if a good deal pops up?

This would leave Azmoun in some trouble, or at least not in an ideal situation, especially since the world cup is coming up.

At Leverkusen he'll more likely be a starter and like Iranianrsenal11 said (I think it was you! lol), if he gets to pair up with Schick, that wold be AMAZING.

Also, Leverkusen is an attacking team and he'll have the opportunity to score A LOT of goals in a top 4 league!

Not to mention how great the Bundesliga is at nurturing talent and improving players.
