Qarabağ are reportedly exploring a move for Shamakhi centre-forward Karim Rossi as they assess attacking options within the Azerbaijan Premyer Liqa.
The 32-year-old, who holds both Swiss and Moroccan nationality, is currently on the books of Shamakhi and wears the number 9 shirt for the Premyer Liqa side. Data from Transfermarkt indicates that Rossi, valued at around €250,000, is being monitored by Qarabağ, although the probability of any deal is currently listed as “?” and there has been no indication yet of an agreement between the clubs.
Rossi’s contractual situation at Shamakhi is unclear, with no public expiry date recorded, leaving open the possibility that he could either be approaching the end of his deal or move on in a scenario that might see him become a free agent before signing elsewhere. That ambiguity is helping to fuel speculation over a switch to Qarabağ, one of the division’s most ambitious clubs.
Born on 1 May 1994 in Gilly, Switzerland, the 1.89m right-footed striker operates primarily through the middle in an attacking role. He is currently listed with national-team affiliation to FC Shamakhi and remains an experienced figure in the Azerbaijani top flight.
Rossi’s recent campaign with Shamakhi in the Premyer Liqa has kept him in the shop window, with his market value of €250k underlining him as a relatively low-cost option for clubs seeking depth in the forward line. Specific recent match details, including individual performances, have not been formally documented in the data provided, but his continued presence as Shamakhi’s number 9 reflects his status in the squad.
With Qarabağ regularly competing at the top end of the domestic league, any move – whether via a transfer fee or following a contract expiry – could offer Rossi a new platform. If the deal materialises, it would represent a significant step in the latter stages of his career and an opportunity to enhance his reputation in Azerbaijani football.
