Pakistan football captain Abdullah Iqbal has attracted attention from European clubs, with Azerbaijani side Qarabag FK reportedly expressing interest in signing the 23-year-old defender.
Abdullah Iqbal currently plays for Swedish club Mjällby, where he has impressed as a reliable centre-back. Qarabag FK, a top team in the Azerbaijan Premier League, is preparing an offer to acquire the national team captain ahead of the next season.
The move could provide Iqbal with the opportunity to compete in the UEFA Champions League, as Qarabag is a regular participant in European competitions. This would allow the Pakistani international to showcase his talent on one of the biggest stages in club football.
Qarabag FK currently holds the second spot in the Azerbaijan Premier League and is actively building a squad capable of challenging for both domestic and continental titles. Signing Iqbal would strengthen their defense while giving the player valuable exposure to high-level European football.
For Pakistan football, a transfer of this nature would mark a significant milestone. It highlights the growing recognition of Pakistani talent internationally and opens doors for more players to follow in Iqbal’s footsteps.
Officials and fans are eagerly monitoring developments, as a successful transfer could boost the profile of both the player and Pakistani football on the global stage.
