"The club's [Persepolis'] chief executive, Dariush Mostafavi, reached an agreement with Karimi after a one-hour-long telephone conversation," said Ali Karimi's agent, Abolfazl Jalali, in an interview with Fars news agency on Thursday.
"Karimi will arrive in Tehran on Saturday to sign the contract," he added.
Jalali pointed out that Persepolis would have to pay al-Sailiyah in the next few days in order to release Karimi from the Qatari club's contract.
Mostafavi had earlier said that Karimi's release fee was estimated to be about USD 310,000.
The 29-year-old Karimi played for Persepolis between 1998 and 2001.
