August 7th, recently, the Iranian team Tehran Independence officially announced that it would sign Albanian striker Asani from K1 team Gwangju FC. The latter tied for second place in the AFC scorer list with 9 goals last season. Currently, Germany's price is 1.2 million euros.

However, Korean media "BestEleven" published a entitled "Oh my God, is this a professional team? Before the K League season ended, Gwangju players were officially announced by Tehran’s independent team. It complained that Tehran’s independent team operations were very amateur, and that the players officially announced that they had officially joined without understanding the K League system. The article reads:

Recently, Tehran's independent official announced the signing of Asani, but local media said that the team did not know that the K League is not a New Year's Eve system, and the league is still in progress.

Asani has only half a year left in the contract with Gwangju FC. Although some teams are very interested in him, his next stop has been confirmed in advance when the players are still likely to renew their contract. Although Tehran's independence move is within the scope of the relevant FIFA regulations, the loss of major players will definitely surprise the team when Gwangju FC is completely unaware of it. Tehran's independence did not pay attention to when the K-League ended, so he easily signed a formal contract with Asani. They thought the Korean League was just like the European League and it was currently in the offseason, but the situation in the East Asian league is different. Since the players are still in the contract, Tehran cannot sign players at the moment. It is necessary to meet the asking price of Gwangju FC so that the transfer can be completed.

The situation is also very complicated for Gwangju FC. The team insider said that he would communicate with the coach and Asani himself before deciding where the players will go. The team is also very uneasy because of this.
