Alireza Jahanbakhsh @ N.E.C. Nijmegen | 2014-2015

[inarsenewetrust]

Guys lets put it this way. RN let us all assume that he will stay at Nijmegen. A mid table side, and become a real leader there. They have quality players, many of them quite young, and a solid management team, and he is first choice. He can work another year, prove himself further, then really good offers will come. This is a fine situation. If he goes to AZ then that's even better. But for now this is fine, if a transfer does materialize, besiar Aali. If not, that is ok

[Kiarash]

AZ is drawn with decent Turkish opponent İstanbul Başakşehir in the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League. First leg will be on 30 July, while the second leg is on 6 August. So in case JB goes to AZ, it won't be easy to reach the group stage.

Watch him go to Rostov lol

Watch him go to Rostov lol

He had interest from Spartak Moskou, if he would go to Russia he would have been there already

Jahanbakhsh finally training with the group again. NEC says on their website in an update on the injuries (JB isn't the only one), that JB still won't do every group training. In De Gelderlander Faber says they don't want to take any risks, but that JB will probably be 100% again at the start of the season (begin of august).

Does it seem like he's staying next season?

Difficult to say.
What we know now is that has said no to Spartak Moscow, Brighton Hove & Albion, New York City FC and Arab, Chinese and Iranian clubs.
NEC hasn't accepted the offers of Anderlecht and probably AZ (there are strong rumours about AZ having made an offer).
AZ is still interested, but JB is on a list of 5 players. He is probably the best player on that list, but also the most expensive. So we have to wait. On the AZ forum they are really in favour of getting JB, as he is already a strong player, whereas the other players mentioned are still talented young players, not really ready for the Eredivisie. It might also be a tactic of AZ to put more pressure on NEC.

I don't think any other clubs will be an option. PSV, Ajax and Feyenoord are already finished looking for wingers. FC Groningen is almost done (or already done) with selling star player Chery for around 3 million and want to reinvest that in a winger, but I don't think they want to use 2/3 of the amount they got for a new player. For most of the other clubs the salary is a problem. As he is Iranian he will have to earn almost half a million, which is a lot for Dutch clubs.

AZ is the best option; I would say it's 60/40 that he goes there or not.

AZ will most likely buy Zeneli according to Swedish media.

The majority of the articles I read in the Swedish media mention the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf as their source. And it's indeed true that AZ is interested in him, just as some other Dutch teams, but he is just one of the five options, just as JB. For as far as I can judge the situation right now, AZ hasn't chosen yet. It might be Zeneli, it might be Jahanbakhsh, it might be one of the other 3 players, who are still unknown.

I think he should just stay in NEC for this season. Does not NEC have a billionaire owner, maybe he can pick up his salary for this season and next season or midseason they can get find a better buy for him.

"Jahanbakhsh and four others in the infirmary at NEC

NEC can not prepare with a fully fit selection for the new season. There are currently five players on the scrapheap in Nijmegen, which in the past year were convincing champion of the Jupiler League and therefore their comeback stand in the Eredivisie.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh was operated for the summer to his knee and is still recovering from his injury. The flavor of the past season, which is allegedly in the interest of AZ, next week will partly join the group training. Goalkeeper Joshua Smits wants to train fully again next week.

Mohamed Rayhi is still four to six weeks out of action due to an ankle injury. The PSV striker came over ran it in the exhibition game against Terschuurse Boys. Furthermore camps promise players Jay-Roy Cave and Chima Bosman injured.

NEC kicks off the new season on Sunday, August 9th with a home match against Excelsior."

I think his injury killed his transfer. Stay in NEC last season, and stop these rumors that have 0% to go through.

Probability to go to a good club : 0%
Probability to stay at NEC 95%
Probaility of a shocking transfer (Arab league, IPL, Brightling) : 5%

Anyone know where I can buy a jahanbaksh jersey for the 15/16 season?

[ramingeles2000]

He's a good player and has a bright future bc he started in Europe but if CQ doesn't start him and he can't do better than NEC maybe it's best we temper our expectations and give him some breathing room.

The problem is that the players haven't gotten a number. That will happen later.
But this is the official website, where you can buy the shirts:
