Throughout the summer, the attacker was linked to both Derby and Hull City, a rival in the Championship.
However, Emreli rejected the latter’s offer of a two-year contract, preferring to stay in Germany.
Kaiserslautern is reportedly close to completing a free move for the 27-year-old after he departed Nurnberg, so he finally gets what he wanted.
After scoring 10 goals in 24 games, Emreli was in high demand as a striker, and Azerbaijani clubs were also interested.
However, Kaiserslautern has already taken the lead in the competition for Emreli, who is anticipated to sign a three-year deal with the seventh-place Bundesliga 2 team from the previous campaign.
Emreli began his career with Baku, but once he truly made an impression, he moved to Qarabag in 2015. He played in both the Europa League and the Champions League, scoring 67 goals in 187 games.
In a match against Chelsea in 2017, he made his senior Champions League debut. He was transferred to Legia Warsaw in Poland as a result of his success at Qarabag, but the move did not work out. After being attacked by hooligans on a bus ride back from a game against Wisła Płock, Emreli terminated his own contract.
Dinamo Zagreb made their move, and during his time in Croatia, he scored nine goals in 32 games, helping the team earn a spot in the Champions League.
He first moved to Konyaspor on loan before joining Nurnberg in Germany. He joined the team last year and scored 10 goals in 24 games.
