Alekasir, 30, and Aghaei, 25, join the club after impressive showings in the 2019-20 league season, while Lak, 29, arrives from Machine Sazi as the long-term replacement for national team number one Alireza Beiranvand, who departed the club for Belgian outfit Royal Antwerp In July.

Aghaei and Lak have both previously featured for the Islamic Republic of Iran national team.

The players arrive at the club less than two weeks before the AFC Champions League West Zone restart, with Persepolis to meet Saudi Arabia’s Al Taawoun in their first centralised match on September 15.

Aghaei has already appeared in the 2020 edition of the competition for Sepahan.

Persepolis have established themselves as the dominant domestic force in Iranian football in recent years, winning four consecutive league titles, and finishing 14 points ahead of their nearest challengers in the 2019-20 campaign.
