Experienced Uzbekistan national team and Pakhtakor forward Igor Sergeev is on the verge of another important decision. According to Footballi, leading teams in the Iranian Pro League - Istiqlol and Persepolis - have begun serious efforts to acquire the forward.
The source notes that since both clubs plan to strengthen their attack, an experienced player like Sergeev, capable of handling every situation, could become a valuable component for them. The competition in Iranian football is fierce, and the demand from fans is high. Therefore, it's understandable that teams are increasingly in need of players who can deliver accurate results.
The 32-year-old forward's performance this season has also increased interest from clubs. For "Pakhtakor," he played in 27 matches, scored 18 goals, and provided a great assist to his team with 2 more accurate passes. He can be considered the team's main attacking support.
Sergeev's current contract with Pakhtakor runs until the end of 2025. This could further complicate negotiations between the clubs. However, Transfermarkt's valuation of the player at around €1 million clearly demonstrates his international standing.
His move to Iranian football could be a new stage, a new environment, and a new level of competition for Igor. Particularly playing for teams like Istiqlol and Persepolis, which have a large squad and a large number of fans, increases the experience of each player and strengthens the mental stability on the field.
A concrete decision regarding Sergeev's future is expected in the near future. Fans are already watching with interest which club he chooses.
