He, who was supposed to play in this MBC club team this season, returned to Iran with his request to leave to accompany the national team in the fifth window of the World Cup and to play in the Gorgan municipal team.
In an interview with IRNA reporter, he said: After the fourth window of the World Cup, because I had a contract with my club team, I went to Germany, but there were circumstances in which I finally requested to leave.
