PLDC - The rumor has spread that Sohrab Bakhtiyarizadeh, Esteghlal Tehran
defender, intends to defect to Persepolis and has said as much to the press
and media. He himself is apparently upset by the unjust rumors and he spoke in a recent interview, "I don’t know who has been making up
stories about me? Why do they want to destroy my reputation? I am not used to
saying something and then denying it."
"After the last Esteghlal game, I was interviewed and then I returned to my team and that's all. No proposals have been given to me by
Persepolis either. If something is in the air only Fathollahzadeh will know
about it. My contract with Esteghlal ends at the end of the season."
"Everything in Esteghlal is fine and I have no injuries. We intend to fully carry out the instructions given to us by Koch and be successful."
