Portuguese media claim that Azerbaijani football club Qarabag remain interested in local defender João Goulart.

Offsideplus.az, citing the "SAPO" portal, reports that several other clubs, alongside the Aghdam side, are keen on the 26-year-old center-back from Portuguese outfit Casa Pia. Having secured their top-flight status in Portugal last month, Casa Pia are open to the move, looking to net a specific transfer fee for Goulart.

The defender's current contract runs until the end of next season.

It is worth noting that Portuguese press previously reported that Qarabag were close to signing another local player, midfielder Samuel Lobato.
