Eldor Shomurodov's resumed performances after moving to Turkey are attracting the attention of not only local fans but also insiders and clubs in Europe. After the captain of the Uzbekistan national team left Italy and started playing for "Istanbul Bashakshehir," he has returned to his reliable, hot form and is demonstrating his scoring skills strongly.
Shomurodov's reinstatement in Turkey - the right decision for Bashakshehir
In the summer, Roma loaned the Uzbek forward to Bashakshehir with the option to buy later. For the Turks, this decision turned out to be the right one - Eldor became the decisive "rescuer" for the team in one match after another. Throughout the season, he quickly turned the club around with his energetic performances.
Now, Bashakshehir's management has put the issue of a full transfer of Shomurodov on the agenda. Turkish media and insiders are asserting that this process could be implemented as early as January.
The Italian press also took the floor - "Roma's regret?"
Influential Italian sources, including romaforever.it, note that concerns have arisen among the Romans after the Uzbek forward's proactive play in Turkey.
Most Roma fans are currently regretting Eldor's departure due to a lack of effectiveness in the team's attack. The opinion that "Shomurodov should have been retained" is being widely discussed because forwards like Artem Dovbik or Evan Ferguson are not showing the expected level of play.
Notably, Eldor played in 37 games for Roma last season, scoring 7 goals and providing 5 assists. But the uplifting spirit, confidence, and stable position in the main squad in Turkey allowed him to shine once again.
What are the transfer terms? Will it be resolved in January?
According to renowned insider Filippo Biafora, Bashakshehir has the option to acquire Eldor for €2.8 million during the winter transfer window. If this decision is not implemented in January and the team retains the season in the Super League, the transfer will be made automatically.
Roma, however, considers this deal financially very beneficial. Having received €3 million for a summer loan, the Romans will earn another €2.8 million from the full transfer. Therefore, the main question of the Romans is: when will this process take place?
Shomurodov's statistics - self-reflection
The most important factor is Eldar himself. Because which club would simply let go of a striker who scored 8 goals in 12 games and is among the leaders in the scoring race?
Romaforever.it journalist Luca Mugnayoli also writes:
"Trust in Shomurodov, efficiency, and consistency in the game could force Bashakshehir to finalize the transfer as early as January."
Eldor's brilliance in Turkey opens up even broader opportunities for him. His play is a great force not only for the club, but also for the national team. The conclusion is one: Eldor has once again returned to the big stage and has no intention of stopping yet.
