Mahdavikia To Decide Future This Week

GOAL - Iranian international Mehdi Mahdavikia is to choose his next club this week and is sure that it won’t be Borussia Dortmund.

The 29 year-old has just been released by Hamburg after eight years and is reportedly being chased by clubs in England, Spain, France and Germany.

He is currently in Mallorca on vacation, fuelling speculation that La Liga will be his next destination.

"I will decide my future club in the next three or four days,” Mahdavikia told Iran Sports Press and vowed that he wouldn’t be teaming up with old Hamburg and current Dortmund coach Thomas Doll.

“I went to Spain for rest and I reject any offers from Borussia Dortmund. I had enough problems when Thomas Doll was in charge in Hamburg and even if they offer me a contract, I will reject it for the above reason.

“Of course for family reasons, I prefer to stay at Bundesliga but I will consider other options too and anything can happen."
