    But, according to the striker, his Russian club didn't entertain any offers for him.

    "I have a contract. Even if I wanted to leave, Zenit can prevent me, and there is nothing I can do," said the Iranian striker, according to Persian Soccer.

    "I had offers from Tottenham, Lyon, Bayer Leverkusen and Roma but they rejected them. If I leave, it will be this summer as a free agent."

    Azmoun's contract with Zenit expires in 2022.
