In a bid to solidify their attacking prowess, AS Roma is reportedly keen on incorporating Sardar Azmoun into their long-term plans. The 29-year-old striker has left an indelible mark on both manager Jose Mourinho and the club hierarchy since his arrival last summer, despite having seen limited action on the field during the initial months of the season.
Azmoun’s sporadic appearances as a substitute have frequently proven pivotal, with the Iranian international often delivering game-changing performances in the dying minutes. This has significantly contributed to Roma securing positive results in nearly every match Azmoun has featured in.
According to reports from Corriere dello Sport, there is a growing desire within the club to formalize Azmoun’s role in their future strategy. However, as of now, Roma has yet to make a final decision on whether to exercise the option to purchase the player from Bayer Leverkusen.
The current market value for Azmoun stands at €13 million, a figure that could prove financially challenging for Roma should they fail to secure a spot in the prestigious UEFA Champions League. The decision to trigger the purchase option hinges on the club’s performance in the ongoing season.
Roma finds themselves at a crossroads, carefully weighing the potential long-term benefits of securing Azmoun against the financial constraints that may arise from missing out on Champions League qualification. The coming weeks are expected to bring clarity on the future of Sardar Azmoun in the iconic colors of AS Roma.
