Kannanizadegan was one of Persepolis’ key players, helping the Reds win the Iran Professional League (IPL) for the fifth time in a row.
The 27-year-old center-back has reportedly reached an agreement with Qatari club Al-Ahli.
“I had promised the fans to stay with the team until the end of the season. Now, I announce that I will leave Persepolis to play in Qatar,” Kanaani said.
