Persepolis negotiations to sign Ramin Rezaeian

After the World Cup, Persepolis held talks to sign Ramin Rezaeian. Two days ago, the club’s CEO made remarks on Persepolis’s official television channel about several players, claiming that rival teams would not let their star players — such as Ramin Rezaeian, Arya Yousefi, Mehdi Torabi, and others — join Persepolis. Moments later, he said alongside the team’s head coach that a number of players had asked for offers of more than $2 million, a statement that was confirmed by Mehdi Tartar. These figures and names sparked considerable curiosity among Persepolis fans, but our reporter’s follow-up indicates that Hadadi and Tartar were referring to Ramin Rezaeian. A player who spent the past two seasons at Esteghlal and is currently under contract with that club, but can leave through a release clause.
