Azmoun joins AS Roma on loan

Sardar Azmoun is leaving Bayer 04 to join Italian top-flight club AS Roma on a season-long loan. Leverkusen have agreed a deal with the Italian club to transfer the Iranian striker, who joined the Werkself from Zenit St Petersburg in January 2022. The Iran international has a contract at Leverkusen to 30 June 2027.

"It was Sardar's wish to make a new start in a different environment," said Bayer 04 sporting managing director Simon Rolfes. "Unfortunately, he has battled with a lot with injuries over the last 18 months. We have reached a good agreement with Roma. Sardar can now show what he can do at an absolute top level in Serie A."
