Levski Sofia players continue to attract international and transfer interest. Defender Cristian Makoun remains a central figure in transfer speculation. While previously linked to Turkish club Samsunspor, Greek side Aris Thessaloniki has actively pursued the 26-year-old Venezuelan defender to strengthen its defensive line. 

Although negotiations had previously stalled, recent reports suggest the deal is moving forward. Levski Sofia is reportedly open to the transfer, with a potential fee of approximately €3.5 million. While Makoun is under contract until 2027, he may be able to negotiate terms starting in January. To mitigate the impact of a potential departure, Levski has been in advanced talks to acquire Lucas Ryan from Lokomotiv Plovdiv.

On the international front, 22-year-old David Kuso has drawn the attention of Angola national team coach Aliou Cissé. Kuso is a potential candidate for an international call-up for upcoming matches against Egypt and Malawi in late September.
