TEHRAN, Aug. 25 (MNA) – A Greek website has reported that the Iranian midfielder, Ehsan Hajsafi, who plays for Tractor Sazi, will leave his team in case it loses the semi-final match at the Iranian Hazfi Cup.

According to the Greek Yellowradio website, today will be the last day of Hajsafi in Tractor Sazi if it cannot beat Naft Masjed Soleyman and reach the cup final.

The website has reported that Hajsafi will play for Aris Thessaloniki football club in the Greek Super League in the upcoming season.

Hajsafi is under contract with Tractor Sazi until next summer. However, if the team is eliminated from the cup today, the 30-year-old midfielder will bid farewell to his teammates and leaves Tabriz for Thessaloniki, the website wrote.

Even if Tractor Sazi qualifies for the final, which is slated for August 31, Hajsafi will play in the final match and then goes to Greece.

He joined Tractor in 2018 and has scored eight goals in 45 matches for the Iranian top-flight football team.
