Pogoń Szczecin are in advanced talks regarding the transfer of Iranian midfielder Javad Hosseinnejad. According to information from PersianFootball.com, the Ekstraklasa club has identified the 23-year-old as a priority transfer target.
Daniel Trzepacz from Pogonsportnet.pl confirmed the club's interest. "From the reports presented by Daniel Trzepacz from Pogonsportnet.pl, it is understood that the priority of Pogonia is Mohammad Javad Hosseinnejad," the journalist said. Hosseinnejad plays as an offensive midfielder and is currently under contract with Russian side Dinamo Makhachkala. He has made five appearances for the Iran national team.
Who is Javad Hosseinnejad?
Javad Hosseinnejad is a 23-year-old midfielder who developed his skills in Iranian football before moving to Russia. His playing style is based on creativity and technique in the middle of the park. He was previously linked with a move to Portuguese club Rio Ave, showing his name is circulating in European markets. For Pogoń, acquiring such a player could mean strengthening the team's offensive capabilities ahead of upcoming league challenges. The club is certainly analysing his potential in the context of long-term development.
What is the stage of the negotiations?
The parties involved are reportedly close to reaching an agreement. This suggests talks have entered a decisive phase, although an official transfer announcement is still pending. Pogoń Szczecin are conducting direct discussions with Dinamo Makhachkala and likely with the player's representatives. The Ekstraklasa club must finalise contract details, including financial terms and the length of the deal. Everything indicates the Pogoń board is determined to complete this operation.
