Vagif Heydarli: “Zira was the most suitable option for Namig Alasgarov”

The most suitable option for Azerbaijan national team player Namig Alasgarov was “Zira”.

This was stated to Report news agency by the midfielder’s agent Vagif Heydarli, who signed a contract with the Baku club yesterday, Idman.biz reports.

He mentioned that there were offers from Turkish clubs as well: “In addition to local clubs, Namig Alasgarov also received an offer from a lower division team in Turkiye. We talked and discussed. Since 'Zira' was the most suitable and optimal option, we chose this team. Of course, financial matters always play a role during the decision-making process. But this time, finances were not the main factor. Other nuances were more decisive.”

Heydarli also addressed why the footballer did not consider the offers from Turkish clubs: “As you know, most lower league clubs in Turkiye lack stability. It’s uncertain what will happen in a month or two. That’s why Namig wanted to choose a professional team with stability and serious goals. Because right now, his biggest shortcoming is a lack of consistency. True, injuries prevented him from fully showing his potential at 'Sabah'. 'Zira' signed him on a long-term contract to allow regular appearances. He has no injuries now and has already joined his new team’s training sessions since yesterday.”

Alasgarov signed a “2+1” year contract with “Zira”.
