Harambee Stars forward Masoud Juma’s future at Iranian club Esteghlal is still undecided and it could be down to a former Real Madrid and AC Milan star.
Harambee Stars striker Masoud Juma’s future at Iranian club Esteghlal has been the subject of speculation in recent weeks with reports in Iran claiming he could leave at the end of the season.
Juma signed a short-term deal at Esteghlal late last December with his contract set to end at the conclusion of this season, although the club has an option to extend for another year.
However, the extension was pegged on his performances but an injury has limited his output as he has managed just two goals in 14 games, leading to reports that the club will look to offload him.
