Nariman Akhundzade’s agent, Tural Asgarov, has spoken about the player’s lack of appearances for Erzurumspor and his future career. He said they were monitoring how the situation develops and waiting to see what happens by the end of the year.
Asgarov said he had spoken once with Erzurumspor president Ahmet Dal about the player’s situation. Although the club had not explicitly said it was unhappy with Akhundzade, the agent said it appeared there were aspects of his performance they were dissatisfied with, and that the player’s current situation might not fully satisfy the head coach.
The agent said they had not been told, “We are unhappy with Nariman and do not want him in the squad.” For that reason, they are trying to remain patient and wait. Asgarov said the situation regarding Akhundzade’s future at Erzurumspor could become clearer by the end of the year. He stressed that no decision could be made today and that the transfer window opens in January.
Akhundzade moved from Qarabag FK to U.S. club Columbus Crew in February this year and joined Erzurumspor on loan in August.
