After a poor spell in Osasuna, Ansarifard joined Greek side Panionios last summer and impressed in his first season with the team as he scored 9 goals in 30 appearances.
While he has still one year left on his contract with the club, a couple of notable European teams including French side Marseille have shown their interests in signing him.
The 26-year old striker has previously stated that he is eager to continue his career in Europe so moving to France will be huge step forward for him.
