Reports are emerging about the potential departure of Uzbekistan national team and Iran's 'Persepolis' club winger Oston O‘runov from his team. Several Iranian media outlets, including 'parsfootball', 'tarafdori', and 'vista iran', have indicated that there is a possibility of O‘runov being sold.
According to the reports, the team's head coach Ismoil Kartal does not have much confidence in the Uzbek legionnaire. Additionally, the club management is also considering the possibility of selling the player. However, the final decision will be made during the pre-season camp in Turkey.
O‘runov, who joined 'Persepolis' in the second half of the last season, played a crucial role in the team's championship victory in the Iran Pro League. However, later on, the player was unable to maintain his top form.
At the beginning of the season, O‘runov actively participated in the Olympic qualifying matches and other FIFA tournaments with the Uzbekistan national team. This put significant pressure on the player, exacerbating his injuries. As a result, he missed many important matches and, according to experts, negatively affected the team's overall results.
Head coach Ismoil Kartal does not expect much from O‘runov for the upcoming season and plans to strengthen his squad with two new and quality wingers. Therefore, the 24-day camp taking place in Turkey is crucial for the player. If O‘runov suffers another injury during this preparation, there is a high likelihood that the team will exclude him from their plans for the next season.
It is worth noting that Oston O‘runov has played 18 matches in the 2024/25 Iran championship, scoring two goals and providing one assist.
