Sardar Azmoun was left out of the squad by Bayer Leverkusen on the specific instructions of Xabi Alonso. The behavior of the former Roma striker did not please the Spanish coach. Now the Iranian will be forced to train alone away from the team.
Sardar Azmoun put out of pink by Bayer Leverkusen on specific indication of Xabi AlonsoThe Spanish coach did not appreciate the behaviour of the former striker of Roma returned to Germany after his loan spell with the Giallorossi last season. The Iranian striker, according to Bild, did not show up for training on the second day of the retreat. An unjustified absence that infuriated Xabi Alonso himself who managed to get in touch with him only at midday, that is, at the end of the session. An uneasiness at the root of everything.
It is clear, however, that Azmoun’s lack of seriousness and professionalism did not please the Spanish coach at all, who has now made a clear decision regarding him: out of the squad, training alone at different times than the team. He will be practically isolated from the group until his transfer elsewhere is completed.. Azmoun was already not part of the team’s technical plans and what happened only gave a further push to his transfer. Roma had let the purchase option on his €12 million contract expire.
The Iranian striker showed up in less than optimal physical condition
Not only did Azmoun violate Bayer Leverkusen’s internal code of conduct, but his unjustified absence, which in itself led to his dismissal, further complicated matters. In fact, it seems that the player was not even in adequate physical condition to show up for a retreat. In fact, on Sunday he took part in the athletic tests and evidently his physical condition did not please Xabi Alonso’s staff. Azmoun had started the season with Bayer already certain of being on the market.

Azmoun is difficult to sell for Bayer on the market
It has been clear for some time that there was no future between him and the club at Leverkusen and that he would be sold this summer. Sevilla would appear to be interestedbut prefers to borrow the striker rather than buy. An option that is not appreciated by the German club. Azmoun arrived at Bayer Leverkusen from Zenit St. Petersburg for 2.5 million euros at the beginning of 2022 but for some time now not everyone in the German club has been satisfied with his performance. For this reason, the loan to Roma arrived and now the definitive transfer which however seems complicated.
