Neftchi want to sign former Zira player Salifu Soumah.
According to İdman.Biz, citing sport24.az, the Baku club have already held talks with representatives of the 22-year-old winger.
Neftchi are interested in signing the young player and have already contacted his representatives. However, a serious obstacle has emerged in the way of the transfer. The Guinea international currently does not want to return to Azerbaijan, making a positive outcome to the negotiations unlikely.
Despite this, Neftchi have not abandoned their plans to sign Soumah. The club intend to convince the player and continue negotiations. Malmö's potential decision to loan out the 22-year-old could also create an opportunity for the Baku side.
It should be noted that Soumah, whose market value is €900,000 (AZN 1.7 million), played for Zira from 2023 to 2025. He joined Malmö for €1.3 million and spent the second half of last season on loan at Polish club Radomiak.
