Aris will hold a purchase option of one million euros as part of the loan agreement, allowing the Greek side to secure Suleymanov’s services for a fixed price should the player impress during his spell in Thessaloniki.

Suleymanov spent the previous season on loan in Israel with Hapoel Be’er Sheva, where he gained exposure to a different league and style of play. That experience served as a stepping stone before his return to Krasnodar at the close of the 2022-2023 season. In the subsequent period, the forward was not featured in the Russian Premier League during the opening three rounds. He did appear once in the national cup competition, albeit without scoring. Krasnodar has been competing at the top of the table alongside Spartak Moscow, with both teams holding a lead in a tightly contested championship. The market valuation of Suleymanov, according to Transfermarkt, sits at 2.5 million euros, reflecting his potential and the interest from clubs abroad. [Attribution: Transfermarkt]
There have been past, informal statements connected to Suleymanov that circulated in the media, including a controversial claim related to an incident attributed to him under Dagestani regional influences. Such reports have not been substantiated with formal charges or proven by official records, and they remain part of discussions surrounding his public profile. As always, fans and observers are advised to follow verified updates from the clubs involved and established sports outlets. [Attribution: General sports reporting]
