Nariman Akhundzade, the Azerbaijani national team striker who transferred to the US team Columbus Crew, was interested in playing in the MLS.
Speaking to "Report" for the first time after his transfer, the 21-year-old player explained the reason for choosing his new team.
"The option of playing in the MLS was interesting to me, and in the end, I decided to join the Columbus Crew team. It's always difficult to be away from home. Whether it's the USA or somewhere else. All of this is part of a football life. Whether the adaptation process is easy or difficult, I will try to prove that the decision I made was right. Even if the adaptation process takes time."
The Azerbaijani national team member also shared his first impressions after arriving in the USA:
"I've been in America for two days now. I went to my first training session yesterday, and I saw a warmer attitude in the team than I expected, and I was welcomed. Now I'm looking forward to the day I debut for Columbus Crew."
It should be reminded that Nariman Akhundzade's contract with Columbus Crew is valid until the summer of 2029. The US representative will pay "Qarabag" a little more than 1 million euros for the football player.
