Westerlo bids farewell to Allahyar Sayyadmanesh after 2.5 seasons. The 24-year-old forward made the switch from Hull City in January 2024 for over two million euros. During his time at Westerlo, he played 84 matches, scoring 14 goals and providing 13 assists. This season, he contributed with 7 goals and 5 assists, helping the Kemphanen secure fourth place in the Europe Play-offs of the Jupiler Pro League. Sayyadmanesh began his professional career in 2018 at Esteghlal FC in Iran but quickly moved to Fenerbahçe. After several loan spells, including at Istanbulspor and Zorya Luhansk, he was permanently signed by Hull City in July 2022. His departure marks the end of an important period for Westerlo, who greatly appreciated his talent and commitment.
