29-year-old striker Eldor Shomurodov is experiencing one of the most important stages in his career. The Uzbek national team, led by him, is very close to qualifying for the 2026 World Cup for the first time in its history. On March 25, our national team will play in a very important match against Iran.
At the same time, the Italian club Roma is planning to make serious changes to its squad in the summer season. The club's management is reconsidering the issue of central strikers, and Shomurodov's future is also in question.
The problem of a central striker in Roma
According to the playermanager.info website specializing in Italian football, serious decisions will be made in Roma regarding central strikers. The club has Artem Dovbik, Eldor Shomurodov and Tammy Abraham, but all of them could leave in the summer.
Artem Dovbik: A striker who has not delivered
The 27-year-old Ukrainian striker was brought to Roma with high hopes. He impressed the fans by winning La Liga's Pichichi award last season. However, despite scoring 15 goals for the Romans, his overall performance has not satisfied the club's management.
Claudio Ranieri has advised him not to "just score goals". The club is ready to sell him for at least the 30 million euros they spent on him. The option of a loan and then sale is also being considered.
Eldor Shomurodov: A Roma fan favorite
Artem Dovbik's problems have created a big opportunity for Shomurodov. He entered the starting lineup and began to have a significant impact on the team's attack. Eldor's important goals and assists made him a favorite of Roma fans.
Shomurodov's transfer history
Roma has come close to saying goodbye to Eldor twice before.
- In the summer, Atlanta United showed interest in him and could have moved to MLS.
- In the winter, Venezia wanted to sign him, but Claudio Ranieri decided to keep him.
Although Shomurodov is currently one of Roma's key figures, the club does not plan to involve him in long-term projects. His contract, which expires in 2026, and the fact that he is 29 years old, may be the reason for this decision.
A fateful season for Shomurodov
This season could be Eldor's last in Roma. Whether he stays at the club or not will depend on his performance this season and the transfer market.
Tammy Abraham: Return to England is highly likely
Tammy Abraham was loaned to Milan before the season. However, the Milanese do not plan to buy him. West Ham and Everton are interested in him. If he does not stay at Milan, he is likely to return to England.
Shomurodov's statistics at Roma
Let's recall that Eldor Shomurodov joined Roma in 2021. This season:
- 28 matches;
- 5 goals;
- 3 assists.
He is actively participating in Serie A and the Italian Cup.
Eldor Shomurodov is going through one of the most important periods both for the national team and at the club level. If he wants to stay at Roma for the long term, he will have to make the rest of the season productive.
With Uzbekistan's national team on the verge of qualifying for the World Cup, Eldor will have to do his best to cement his place at the club.
