The executive director of CSKA - Filip Filipov, gave an interview to colleagues from " Darik", in which he revealed that he is working tirelessly on the selection of the team, writes Topsport.
According to him, by the end of the transfer window, another 4-5 new names are expected in the team led by Tomislav Stipić.
"We are not only looking for a central striker. Since the beginning of the transfer window, we have been monitoring players in many positions because we have a deficit. The foundations of the team are being built. We are in advanced negotiations with several footballers and there may be new names next week.
I don't want to get into specifics. I go to many places, we talk to football players. We have three choices for each position, we are talking to the players and clubs. We don't rate them who is the best, where we find the solution, we will take that football player.
We constantly comment with Tomislav Stipich on the needs he has as footballers, with Stoyan Ormandzhiev, with Mihail Aleksandrov, with the scouts. It works without a day off. I think we will attract at least 4-5 players by the end of the transfer window.
There are talks with Bradley de Neuer, our desire is to terminate his contract. This (b.r. - whether there are footballers who have been offered a breakup but remain) are internal club matters, I don't want to comment. The atmosphere is good, I don't want to look for intrigue.
The name of CSKA also indicates the club's goals. Tomislav Stipić knows it very well and he said top 5, but he did not specify which place. The place that CSKA always pursues, no matter what, is the first.
I think that with the very way we work, it shows that we are looking ahead and CSKA is developing properly. Selection is really slow, but we want to build the foundation to build on and raise the quality. If we wanted to make a selection specifically for the match with Ludogorets, we would have made it faster. We are making a team for next year, not for one match," concluded Filip Filipov.
