The work permit of Azerbaijani footballer Turan Manafov, who moved to the South African club "Stellenbosch", will be resolved in about ten days. Sport24.az reports that the 26-year-old midfielder made a statement to "Report" about this.
He explained the reason for the non-announcement of his transfer: "This is not a matter dependent on the club or me. It is related to not obtaining a work permit. After that document arrives, the team will officially announce my transition. That's the only problem. Other issues have been completely resolved. We are currently waiting for the document. It should be resolved in the near future. The document should arrive in about 10 days".
Manafov said that the transfer could be formalized next week: "It is expected that the transition will be officially announced next week. I am currently participating in training as a player of the team. I have also passed a medical examination, I participate in collective training as a member of the club. Only the document I mentioned remains".
The player explained his choice of South Africa as follows: "They wanted me last summer as well. I was also planning to live as a legionnaire. That's why I made such a decision. This is a new challenge for me".
It should be noted that Turan Manafov last wore the uniform of "Kapaz".
