TEHRAN - Iranian football prominent stars Sardar Azmoun and Alireza Jahanbakhsh are facing uncertain futures at their respective European clubs. As the season comes to a close, the players find themselves at a crossroads, with their next moves shrouded in doubt.

Jahanbakhsh, at the age of 30, is poised to leave his current club Feyenoord, but his future destination remains unclear. His time at Feyenoord has been largely underwhelming, and the Dutch club announced his departure at the end of the season before the campaign had even concluded. Unlike Taremi, Jahanbakhsh is yet to determine where he'll be playing next season. The Iranian national team captain has expressed his desire to play in Bundesliga, indicating his intention to remain in Europe's top footballing tier.

Azmoun, the 29-year-old striker, finds himself in a similar predicament. His future is uncertain as to whether he'll remain at his current club Roma, rejoin his former team Bayer Leverkusen (who still own his rights), or seek a new team. Azmoun's time at Roma has been on loan, and despite manager Daniele De Rossi's admiration for the player, the hefty price tag associated with a permanent deal could deter Roma from keeping him. Meanwhile, Leverkusen also shows little interest in bringing Azmoun back.

Azmoun has made 27 appearances for Roma in all competitions, scoring three goals. However, he has struggled to find regular playing time due to the presence of Romelu Lukaku and Paulo Dybala in Roma's attack.

Despite the question marks surrounding their club futures, both Azmoun and Jahanbakhsh are adamant about continuing their European journeys. Their ambitions remain firmly set on gracing the biggest stage - Europe's top five leagues. While they acknowledge the interest from Iranian powerhouses, the prestige and competitive fire of European football hold far greater appeal for them.

The upcoming summer transfer window will be a crucial period for these two Iranian players, as they navigate their career paths and strive to continue their journeys at the highest level of club football.
