Mohammad Sharifi (Persian: محمد شریفی; born 21 March 2000) is an Iranian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Persian Gulf Pro League club Nassaji Mazandaran.
In 2017, Sharifi was chosen by The Guardian as one of the best 60 young talents in world football.[1]
Originally Sharifi signed with Saba Qom in the summer of 2016 to work with Ali Daei, however after Daei left the club before the start of the season, the contract was not finalized. Instead, Sharifi signed with Persian Gulf Pro League champions, Esteghlal Khuzestan.
Sharifi made his professional debut on 24 November 2016 in a 0–0 draw against FC Mashhad, coming on as a second-half substitute. He became one of the youngest ever players to play in the Persian Gulf Pro League.
After the end of the 2016–17 season Sharifi left Esteghlal Khuzestan, and in the summer of 2017 he signed a contract with Tehran based club Saipa.
On 31 October 2020, Sharifi signed a two-year contract with Persian Gulf Pro League champions Persepolis.[2] [3] After signing the contract, he announced:
"It is an honour to play for Persepolis".[4]
