Confirmed: Azmoun leaves Leverkusen
Sardar Azmoun has officially left Bayer Leverkusen to join Shabab Al Ahli Club of the United Arab Emirates.
Shabab Al Ahli Club have confirmed the signing of Sardar Azmoun on a permanent basis from Bayer Leverkusen.
According to Italian transfer market insider Fabrizio Romano, Leverkusen will receive a fee of €5 million for the 29-year-old Iranian international.
Azmoun caused a stir when he didn't show up for a training session after the summer break and was subsequently suspended by Bayer Leverkusen.
The 29-year-old striker joined Leverkusen from Zenit St. Petersburg in January 2022. He spent last season on loan at AS Roma.
