Market

Hossein Kanaani hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Persepolis can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Mohammad Mehdi Mohebi beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 30. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market

Alireza Homaeifard has said yes to Esteghlal Khuzestan

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Persepolis have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market

Persepolis spend $1.1M to raise the standard

This is not cover and nobody is pretending it is. $1.1M has been paid because Duckens Nazon is straightforwardly better than what was already here, and the club has decided to stop waiting.

Market

Persepolis say no — this time

The offer from Guadalajara for Oston O'runov was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets

Esteghlal tell Persepolis: Duckens Nazon is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Words exchanged at Persepolis

Igor Sergeev and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Danial Eiri

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad

Mohammad Rezaeian out for 25 days

The medical room confirms 25 days on the sidelines for Mohammad Rezaeian, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Market

Al Ahli join the queue for Danial Eiri

Add another name to the list: Al Ahli have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Danial Eiri. The answer from Persepolis has not changed — yet.

Squad

Hossein Kanaani signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Hossein Kanaani commits to Persepolis for another 2 years.

Squad

Hossein Kanaani in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Persepolis this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Persepolis

4 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Squad

A row about effort at Persepolis

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Dániel Gera was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market

Persepolis promote Mohammad Rezaeian from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Mohammad Rezaeian has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Persepolis promote Pejman Vafaei from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Pejman Vafaei has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Masoud Vafaei steps up from the Persepolis academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Masoud Vafaei has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Match

Two points walk out of the ground

Level with 94 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon Persepolis had all but put away. Siah Jamegan will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

In brief
