Neftchi has denied reports that it wants to part ways with Mustafa Sek. The club’s press service said reports that the player would be released from the team were untrue.
The 30-year-old Senegalese defender joined Neftchi from Portimonense in August 2024. The sides signed a three-year contract, which runs until June 30, 2027.
Sek made 27 appearances in the Misli Premier League in the 2024/2025 season and 30 in 2025/2026. In the current league campaign, he has so far played just 20 minutes across two matches: four minutes against Sumgait on August 16 and 16 minutes against Qarabag on October 17.
Reports published on October 28 said Portuguese club Farense was interested in Sek and planned to sign him at the end of the season. No official agreement or transfer decision has been announced.
During his career, Sek has played for Lazio, Roma, Carpi, Empoli, Novara, Almere City, Livorno, Leixoes and Portimonense. He wears the No. 24 shirt at Neftchi.
Yuri Vernidub extended his contract with Neftchi in the summer of 2026, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2028.
