Leverkusen (dpa) – Bundesliga soccer club Bayer Leverkusen has brought forward the commitment of Iranian national striker Sardar Azmoun.
Both clubs announced that the 27-year-old will move to the Rhineland during the winter transfer window. “We are happy about the constructive agreement with Zenit and that we can now rely on Sardar’s qualities at an early stage,” said sporting director Simon Rolfes. A week ago, the club reported Azmoun’s transfer, which was actually free of charge, as perfect for the summer. The goalscorer, who scored 39 goals in 60 international matches and won three consecutive championships with Zenit, has signed a contract until 2027.
