Armand Durn, the agent for Serdar Azmoun, who is keeping an eye on the forward’s career at Bayer Leverkusen, said that no official transfer proposal from Russia has reached his client. The comments came through RB Sports, the agency representing the player.
“No formal offers for Azmoun from Russian clubs have appeared up to this moment,” the agent stated, underscoring that discussions at the official level have not moved beyond speculation.
Azmoun arrived at Bayer Leverkusen in January 2022 after a three-year spell with Zenit Saint Petersburg. The striker first joined the Russian club Rubin Kazan a few years earlier, setting the stage for a career that would span multiple top leagues and bring him into the international spotlight. Across his time in Russia and Germany, Azmoun has been recognized for his goal sense, adaptability, and knack for finding space in crowded penalty boxes, qualities that have made him a valuable asset for his teams.
During his stint with the St. Petersburg squad, Azmoun earned domestic success, becoming a three-time Russian champion and lifting the Cup title as well as the country’s Super Cup on two occasions. Those achievements highlight a career marked by trophy-winning experience and a capacity to contribute to squad success in high-stakes matches.
In the 2022/23 campaign, Azmoun appeared in ten Bundesliga fixtures with Bayer Leverkusen, a period during which he navigated competition for minutes and tested his form amidst a demanding schedule. While goals did not flow in that specific stretch, the evaluation of his overall impact includes a broader view of how he contributes to team dynamics, spacing, and pressing schemes that require a forward to apply pressure high up the pitch as well as to finish in tight spaces inside the box.
Earlier statements from Azmoun’s representative dismissed claims that the player intends to return to Russia in the near term. The agent stressed that any future moves would hinge on formal negotiations, competitive offers, and the strategic plans of prospective clubs, rather than rumors circulating in media circles. This stance aligns with a trend among many players who weigh multiple options in European football’s interconnected market, where transfer chatter often outpaces concrete steps toward a deal.
