TEHRANTIMES - UAE football club Al Nasr will hire Esteghlal midfielder Mojtaba Jabbari.

Al Nasr has sent a letter to Esteghlal club and requested his release.

Iran Football Federation president Ali Kafashian had already said that UAE clubs have been ordered not to sign Iranian players for political reasons.

Al Wasl didn’t renew Iran international Mohammad Reza Khalatbari and he returned to his homeland where he now plays for Sepahan.

Iman Mobali and Pejman Nouri both recently left Al Sharjah and Emirates, respectively.
