"France's "Strasbourg" club has praised the performance of Ali Bashirov, a footballer for Azerbaijan's U-16 national team and "Qarabağ"."
This was stated by Aftandil Hajiyev, the academy coordinator of the Aghdam club.
The specialist spoke about the course of the process.
"They sent us athletic performance tests regarding the player's qualities. Overall, our footballer's game satisfied them, and they liked his performance. However, it's not clear how we will continue the process because negotiations have not yet started. Since the player is 16 years old, it's unknown how the transfer will be realized, as FIFA rules are involved. Negotiations between clubs must definitely take place. There is a possibility of him going to France. But this will depend on official discussions," he told report.az.
It should be noted that Ali Bashirov has completed his two-week trial program at France's "Strasbourg" club. During the trial period, the 16-year-old footballer participated in training sessions and friendly matches with the club's U-17 team. He also underwent a number of physical and athletic tests.
