KUWAIT CITY, July 29: Kazma has confirmed the transfer of Algerian defender Imad Azzi to Russian side Dynamo Makhachkala, following approval from the club’s board. The announcement was made by Omar Al-Mulla, Kazma’s treasurer and head of football operations.

Al-Mulla thanked Azzi for his contributions during his time with the club and praised the board’s role in finalizing the deal, wishing the player success in his next career step.

However, sources revealed tension between Azzi and the club, as the player was reportedly reluctant to join a team based in Moscow and expressed a preference to return to Algeria. Despite this, Kazma stood firm, favoring the Russian club’s €500,000 offer over a €300,000 bid from USM Alger.

Kazma ultimately rejected the lower Algerian offer and moved ahead with the transfer to Russia, securing a more financially favorable outcome.
