Jahanbakhsh Likely to Stay at Feyenoord


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran international winger Alireza Jahanbakhsh has not ruled out remaining at Eredivisie side Feyenoord.

Feyenoord has formally terminated the contract of the Iranian skipper, but Jahanbakhsh does not rule out a longer partnership.

“I have mixed feelings,” Jahanbakhsh begins in conversation with ESPN. “The past three years have been very good years for me. I had the opportunity to play for this club. Experienced many good and beautiful moments. Officially it’s my farewell, but you never know what will happen in the future. For now, it was a special day for me. We won the match. It couldn’t be better.”

Where does the winger’s future lie?

“It’s hard to say. Feyenoord is in discussions with my agent. I would like to stay in Europe. I see myself playing football at the highest level in terms of mentality and physically. For now, I’m going on holiday. We have two more matches with the national team, then I’m going on holiday. Then we will see what will happen in the future.”
