Jeyhun Sultanov: “Mahir Emreli is not 20 years old to think about the future”

“It is not good to change teams often.”

Veteran football player Jeyhun Sultanov told Idman.biz.

He commented on the departure of Azerbaijani national team striker Mahir Emreli from the German II Bundesliga team Nuremberg at the end of the season. According to Sultanov, there may be various reasons for the football player to take this step: “We are not aware of what is happening inside, so we cannot make any specific comments. However, it does not seem realistic to link this to a desire for development. Mahir is not 20 years old to think about the future, to take these steps for development. I think that currently Mahir is heading towards where he will be good, where the financial conditions will satisfy him. Again, he makes the decision himself. If he had made the right decision and stayed at one club, he would probably be playing in the I Bundesliga today. This is a football career and everyone has their own thoughts.”

Sultanov also touched on the issue of where Emreli will continue his career from now on: "If he returns to Azerbaijan, it will not benefit him. Mahir can play in even better leagues. For example, the Korean and Chinese championships are superior to ours. In general, I would advise Mahir to come to Azerbaijan as a last resort."

27-year-old striker, who will leave Nuremberg, is allegedly interested in the Bundesliga representative St. Pauli.
