Nariman Akhundzade, the striker of the "Qarabag" club, has been transferred to the US representative "Columbus Crew", signing the most expensive sale in the history of Azerbaijani football.
Idman.Biz reports that the 21-year-old striker has signed a contract with his new team until 2029. The 2.5 million euro (5 million AZN) transfer fee paid for the transfer exceeded the previous record.
Thus, the indicator that has remained untouched for many years has been updated. The previous record was recorded in the 2014/2015 season. At that time, Deniz Yilmaz was transferred to "Trabzonspor" for 1.8 million euros (3.6 million AZN), and this figure remained at the top for years.
Akhundzade, with his leap at a young age, has opened a new page in the transfer history of Azerbaijani football. He scored 35 goals and made 17 assists in 127 official matches with the "Qarabag" uniform. The striker's performances in the European arena also attracted the attention of foreign clubs.
Thus, the football player will continue his career on the other side of the ocean and will face a new challenge in the MLS.
