Allahyar Sayyadmanesh was in news recently and the stories behind an alleged transfer to the top Ukrainian club is quite interesting/
According to the Mehr news reporter, Allahyar Sayyadmanesh, the young Iranian striker, was transferred on loan from Fenerbahce to FC Zorya Luhansk, a club from Ukraine, and has had an excellent performance in the Ukrainian league this season. Recently, the Turkish press reported that Sayyadmanesh had an offer of 8 million euros from the Ukrainian team Shakhtar Donetsk, which was turned down by the president of the Zorya club.
A few days after that news broke, “Alexander Denisov “, a famous reporter was one of the hosts of football programs in Ukraine. Denisov revealed the story behind Sayyadmanesh’s offers and announced that the Iranian striker has been noticed by Italian Serie A teams. This sudden interest by the unknown Italian clubs has caused a challenge between the two clubs who lay claim to Allahyar, Zorya, and Fenerbahce in Turkey over the right of transfer of the Iranian striker.
“Allahyar’s story is interesting and even funny,” Denisov said. “Fenerbahce bought the player but did not give him a chance to play. They bought a pretty capable footballer but did not appreciate his abilities. So he was transferred to Zorya on loan for a period of one-and-a-half-year with an option for a fee of transfer of 2.5 million (possibly Euro). At that moment, no one at Fenerbahce Club seriously counted on Sayyadmanesh being a major team player.
Zorya does not even pay the full salary to Allahyar. Zorya 10,000 and Fenerbahce give 20,000 to this player. And then serious interest for Sayyadmensh was heard from several unknown clubs in Serie A. Italy. The price range quoted for the player was from 5 to 7 million (probably euros). The Turks somehow were informed of this interest, Zorya asked to return the player but the Ukrainians are determined to hang on to him after the realization of the Italian interests. Zorya wants to activate a buy-out clause in the contract with Fenerbahce and pay the determined amount of 2.5 million if Zorya wanted to turn the loan contract into a permanent transfer. In this case, it is possible for Zoriya to sell Allahyar for two or three times the price they paid for.”
In another part of his talk, Denisov praised the skills and his goal-scoring abilities, speed, and assists of Iranian young forward saying: ” Sayyadmanesh has the potential to progress and is therefore being sold at a high price. This why the Turks announced that the Allahyar could be sold to Shakhtar for 8 million euros. This news has not been confirmed because Shakhtar has no plans for such a transfer.”
Sayadmanesh has played 16 matches for Zorya Ukraine this season, scoring 5 goals and providing 2 assists. Sayyadmanesh is currently invited to the Iranian national team camp.
