Persepolis Football Club has engaged in several roster movements as part of its squad management. The club first announced the signing of 19-year-old midfielder Kourosh Ezdehakash from Aluminium Arak. This move is part of a strategic shift toward a “youth-oriented policy” to build future squad value.

Subsequently, the club has sought to strengthen its defense by targeting left-back Abuzar Safarzadeh from Khyber Khorramabad. This potential transfer may involve a player exchange featuring Persepolis defender Hossein Abghaghi-Nezhad. Amidst these transfer efforts, defender Danial Iri has faced scrutiny following a difficult official debut and a critical error during a match against Tractor.
