Ali Gholizadeh, the Iranian winger of Lech Poznań, is currently in an uncertain situation. Despite the extension of his contract with the Polish club due to injury, his future in European football and the possibility of returning to Iran is still unclear.
Change in Gholizadeh's Decision
Polish sports media have reported on the possibility of Gholizadeh changing his decision to return to Iran in the summer of 2027. While he will be unable to join his team until mid-season due to injury, Lech Poznań has decided to extend his contract until June 2027 despite this injury.
Since joining Lech Poznań, Gholizadeh has scored 14 goals and provided 10 assists in 75 official matches, becoming one of the key players of the team. The Polish club, which has been the champion of Ekstraklasa for the past two seasons, hopes that Gholizadeh's return to match fitness can lead to further successes.
Persepolis and Tractor; Competition to Attract Gholizadeh
The name Persepolis is constantly mentioned in connection with Ali Gholizadeh's future. In an interview, he expressed his interest in joining Persepolis and stated that he hopes to wear the team's jersey in the future. However, the conditions of his contract and his injury status may affect this transfer.
Tractor is also recognized as another club interested in acquiring Gholizadeh. In the summer of 1403, this club announced sending an official letter to Lech Poznań for Gholizadeh's acquisition and stated his release fee to be around $600,000. However, no final agreement regarding his transfer has been reached.
Currently, Ali Gholizadeh must first overcome his injury period and return to match fitness. Then it will be determined whether he will continue in European football or make his way to the Iranian Premier League. Although it is said that this summer is the last chance for him to join Persepolis, as the Reds believe that Gholizadeh's age no longer allows for delays in this transfer.
