Title: Esteghlal FC Eyes Two International Strikers to Bolster Attacking Line
In a strategic move to strengthen its squad, Esteghlal Football Club’s head coach, Ricardo Sá Pinto, has identified his two primary targets for the upcoming transfer window. The club is looking to reinforce its attacking front with significant international talent.
The Top Contenders
According to confirmed reports, the final shortlist features two prominent players: Mame Thiam, a Senegalese striker, and Fábio Abreu, an Angolan forward. Both athletes are being considered as key potential additions to the esteemed Tehran-based club.
Navigating the Transfer Market
While both Thiam and Abreu are currently under contract with their respective clubs for the remainder of the season, the path to their acquisition remains open. Esteghlal’s management could secure their services by negotiating and paying the required transfer fee, a common practice in international football.
Streamlining the Squad
In a related development, Coach Sá Pinto has informed the club’s directors that the successful signing of either Thiam or Abreu would negate the need for Joel Kojo’s return to the team. This indicates a clear strategic shift and a focused approach to building a specific type of attacking force for the challenges ahead.
