TEHRANTIMES - Javad Nekounam says he will see out his current contract in Esteghlal despite rumors linking him with a move to Osasuna.

Spanish website Noticias de Navarra reported the 32-year-old midfielder is interested in returning to his former club Osasuna.

"I don't know where these rumors come from. Nobody has called me and my agent,” Nekounam was quoted by Iran’s semi-official ISNA News Agency
as saying.

Nekounam had already said he will keep playing for Esteghlal and finish his career with the Tehran-based team.

Nekounam joined Esteghlal from Osasuna at the end of the last season but rumors suggested that the midfielder is going to leave the team in the winter transfer window.
