Östers IF has recently signed Alibek Aliev, 29, ahead of the 2024 season. The forward has quickly become an important player for the club after impressing during his time in Romania. Aliev scored seven goals and provided two assists in 29 Allsvenskan matches last year, with 27 of those matches being starts. His performances have made him a key player for Östers IF in their quest to return to Allsvenskan after being relegated to Superettan.
Aliev chose to leave Östers IF after the relegation and moved to CFR Cluj on New Year's Day. There, he signed a contract that extended until the summer of 2028. During the spring, he scored four goals and provided four assists in 19 league matches in Romania. Now, Cluj has announced that the parties have agreed to terminate the contract early, which opens the door for Aliev to return to Sweden.
Östers IF is now looking forward to welcoming back Aliev, who has shown his capabilities in Allsvenskan and will be crucial for the club's future success. With his experience and goal-scoring ability, the club hopes to build a stronger squad for the upcoming season. Aliev's return could be a turning point for Östers IF in their ambitions to regain their place in the top league.
