Reports in recent days have said Qarabag set player Pedro Bicalho a specific target to lose weight. According to the claims, the Brazilian player failed to meet it.
The reports said Bicalho, who was struggling to regain his previous fitness, was fined $10,000, or AZN 17,000, as a result.
Qarabag’s press service denied the reports. The club said claims that Pedro Bicalho had been disciplined were untrue.
Pedro Bicalho has played for Qarabag since the summer of 2025. The Aghdam club decided to continue its partnership with the Brazilian player and extended his contract in June this year. The new three-year deal signed by both parties runs until the summer of 2029.
