Levski is arranging the attraction of Lokomotiv (Plovdiv) striker Juan Perea for a sum between 450,000 and 500,000 euros, “Tema Sport“ has learned. The deal is expected to be finalized within hours and the Colombian will wear the blue jersey. The 26-year-old South American will receive a salary of 15,000 of the new Bulgarian currency at “Gerena“. That's exactly how much Oko-Flex is getting paid.
The boss of the black and whites, Hristo Krusharski, had initially set a price of 750,000 euros for Perea. However, the Blues were willing to pay a maximum of 300,000 of the European currency. That's how much the capital paid for their only new player to date - winger Armstrong Oko-Flex. This was the amount the Irishman's buyout clause in his contract with Botev (Plovdiv) amounted to. As “Tema Sport“ wrote, “Gerena“ decided to up the ante, and in the end they will shake hands for a sum between 450,000 and 500,000 euros.
The majority owner Nasko Sirakov and the executive director Daniel Borimirov are currently in Turkey. The responsible factors in Levski have managed to clear up the details of the deal. There was also interest in Perea from a Russian team, which was ready to beat the club out of the “Georgi Asparuhov“ stadium. In the end, however, the team in question did not make an official offer. In the fall, the 26-year-old Colombian played 17 matches in the First League, scoring 4 goals in them. He scored in the 1:0 victory over Levski at “Lauta“, as well as in the 1:2 defeat by CSKA in the capital.
The Blues have already hit the nail on the head with several options for the top of the attack. However, attracting a person for this position is imperative, after the youth international Borislav Rupanov was sold to the Polish Gornik Zabrze. 150 thousand euros were received for him. That's how much Levski will get from the transfer of Brazilian defender Tsunami to Turkish second division side Uğur.
