Mahmoudi, Iran's winger, who scored a goal for his country in the World Cup 2026 match against New Zealand, has not yet decided on his new team. The Samara-based Krilya Sovetov club was very interested in signing this 27-year-old winger, but the transfer did not happen in the summer. Mahmoudi's contract with Rostov has expired, and he will no longer continue his football career in Russia. Mahmoudi is likely to join Rijeka Croatia next season. Shahriar Tahoni, his agent, has also confirmed the interest of Krilya Sovetov and the likelihood of Mahmoudi's transfer to Rijeka. Tahoni said: Krilya Sovetov was interested in Mahmoudi, but he will not join this team. We have finalized the transfer to Rijeka with a 90% probability. They drew 1-1 with Egypt in their last match and have won 1 and drawn 4 of their last 5 games.
