TEHRANTIMES - Former Iran goalkeeper Mehdi Rahmati has signed a one-year contract extension with Esteghlal on Tuesday.


Rahmati’s contract expired at the end of the season and he had been linked with some Iranian clubs.

Rahmati withdrew from the national team due to some problems in January.

The goalie tried to return to the national team and apologized to the officials but Iran coach Carlos Queiroz dropped him for three vital qualifiers against Qatar, Lebanon and South Korea.

Siavash Akbarpour has also reached an agreement with the Iranian giant to extend his contract.
