TEHRAN - Free agent footballer Vahid Hashemian has promised Persepolis officials to consider moving to the Tehran-based team after the 2010 World Cup.

The former Bochum striker prefers to join a European football team and put Persepolis on the back burner.
Hashemian joined Hamburg in 1999 and then played for Bayern Munich and Hannover 96.
The 33-year-old athlete left Bochum last season after the team was relegated from Bundesliga
