"Karabakh" is preparing for a large-scale transfer campaign: who is out of favor with Gurban Gurbanov?

After the end of the current season, Qarabag Football Club from Agdam plans to conduct a serious squad renewal.

As qol.az has learned, a number of players, both local talents and foreign players, are expected to leave.

The team's head coach Gurban Gurbanov was extremely dissatisfied with the performance of players such as Emmanuel Addai, Alexey Kashuk, Bahlul Mustafazade, and Badavi Huseynov this season. The departure of forward Juninho left a noticeable gap in the attacking line. Defensive midfielder Patrick Andrade is also far from his optimal form. The coaching staff recognizes the need to find replacements for them.

Gurbanov plans to acquire at least five newcomers who will immediately become first-team players. Qarabag is aiming to strengthen the center of defense, the left and right wings of midfield, the center of the field, and the attack line. Preference will be given to foreign players.

At the same time, the return of Brazilian Kady during the winter transfer window is considered successful. In eight Premier League matches, he scored 5 goals and provided 2 assists, gradually reaching his best condition. This will allow the club to save on acquiring another playmaker.

The need to rebuild the squad is largely due to Qarabag's unsuccessful performance in the Europa League this season. The team finished last among the 36 participants in the group stage. Many players approached the end of the season physically and psychologically exhausted, which Gurbanov mentioned at press conferences without naming names.

Qarabag has already begun official and unofficial negotiations with potential newcomers and their clubs. Preliminary agreements have been reached with some players. However, several clubs are demanding excessively high release clauses, which does not suit the Agdam club's management.
