Allahyar Sayyadmanish Scores First Goal as Lech Poznan Secure First Win.
Allahyar Sayyadmanish scored his first goal in Poland on Saturday evening, August 2, as Lech Poznan faced Wisła Krakow in the second week of the Polish Ekstraklasa. The match ended 2–1 in favor of Lech Poznan, earning the team its first victory of the new season. The Iranian striker netted his side's second goal of the evening.
After the match, Sayyadmanish expressed his delight: "I am very happy to have scored my first goal, but the most important thing was to get the three points. Following our first league match last Wednesday, we were all really disappointed, but we focused on the game against Wisła Krakow. Fortunately, we were able to bounce back. I think we reacted well as a team. Now we must continue on this path and maintain our momentum."
Ali Gholizadeh , who is Sayyadmanish's teammate in the Polish club, is still in the recovery phase after his injury late last season. The left winger missed Iran's World Cup squad.
Lech Poznan had drawn their opening fixture, but this win gives them four points and lifts them to second place in the early table.
Taremi Faces Uncertain Future at Olympiacos
Meanwhile, Mehdi Taremi is going through a difficult period at Olympiacos. The Greek club has announced its European squad for the UEFA Champions League qualifier against NEC Nijmegen of the Netherlands, scheduled for Tuesday, August 4, in Athens—and Taremi's name was notably absent.
Greek media outlet sportal reported on the situation: "Mehdi Taremi's case has its own complications. The Iranian striker is not considered match-fit at the moment. Moreover, before the World Cup, his agent informed Olympiacos that they were actively looking for a new club for the player."
In light of this, it is not unlikely that Olympiacos will move to sign two new strikers to reinforce their attack alongside Ayoub Al-Kaabi. The coming days will be pivotal for the club's forward line, as they must make important decisions to ensure they are fully prepared for European competition.
For Taremi, there are growing concerns that his declining form and rapidly decreasing market value could make a meaningful move to a respected European league increasingly difficult. So far, only Brazilian Série A side Clube de Regatas Vasco da Gama has shown concrete interest. Taremi is rumored to have turned down that offer, as he remains determined to continue his career in Europe.
Jahanbakhsh Still Searching for New Club
Alireza Jahanbakhsh, the Team Melli winger, has been without a club since being released by Belgian side FCV Dender EH at the beginning of July 2026. The 32-year-old's agent has so far been unable to find him a new team. Like Taremi, Jahanbakhsh is insisting on staying in a European league, despite having received offers from Iranian clubs.
