The Sanat Naft board member further stated: Sanat Naft is the only team whose budget is provided by the management group of the club itself, and we have a limited budget compared to some industrial teams. We closed the budget estimate of 50 to 60 billion, which we are trying to provide. The fair financial behavior that should be observed in football, we do not see at all in the Premier League.
He mentioned about Mohammadi: The CEO or a member of the board of directors of an industrial club goes to the board of directors of that industrial company and approves a budget of 300 to 600 billion at the beginning of the year, of which they receive a part first and the rest receive one-tenth to one-twelfth annually. Our budget in the oil industry club is limited and we have to spend more obsessively.
The board member of Sanat Naft club stated about the offers of other clubs to recruit young players of this team last season: Zavarei and Hamidifar, who went to Esteghlal, have grown in the oil industry and have been fruitful players. They went to Esteghlal with a figure about 30 to 40 times the contract they had with us. We had a player from last year who offered twice the contract cap we set for the team to stay.
Mohammadi said about the process of recruiting foreign players from Sanat Naft Club: Considering the limit of commitments and the budget limit, we left it to the head coach of the team. I thank Perkas for considering the club’s budget situation. He has considered three players who are going through the formalities of their presence in Iran, and among them, we will recruit one or two players with capacity.
