LevskiS efforts to secure defender Christian Dimitrov‘s future with the club are facing continued difficulty, according to reports. Contract talks between the “blues” and the 28-year-old player remain unresolved as his current deal nears its expiration at the end of the season.
The stalled negotiations center on Dimitrov’s ambition to potentially pursue opportunities outside of Bulgaria, having revitalized his career at Levski. Owner Nasko Sirakov and Executive Director Daniel Borimirov have held two meetings with the player, but sources indicate Dimitrov is hesitant to commit to an extension at this time.
Levski management has reportedly granted Dimitrov until the end of the year to make a decision regarding a new contract. Should he decline to re-sign, the club may take a similar approach to that taken with former midfielder Andy Kraev, who was sidelined for approximately six months after refusing to extend his contract and ultimately departed as a free agent in the summer of 2024. The situation highlights Levski’s policy of requiring player commitment and potentially facing consequences for those unwilling to agree to new terms.
