Azmoun currently plies his ride at Rubin Kazan but the club’s CEO, Ayrat Garayev, has no intention of letting his star striker go.
But according to a report from Russian news source Izvestia, if the player impresses whilst away at the Asian Cup, offers may be forthcoming and the club may release him if a suitable amount is bid.
The Iranian featured in his national side’s opening Asian Cup match, coming on as a substitute and will be looking to increase his appearances as the tournament goes on.
