After beating Maribor, Botev (SW) are ambitious to go far in the Europa League. The bosses have forbidden to talk about outgoing transfers and this is done at the insistence of coach Dusan Kerkez.
In recent days in the offices of the “canaries” two specific and big enough offers have come for one of the team's stars – Samuel Akere. However, they were rejected, despite many zeroes, writes “Match Telegraph”. The 20-year-old Nigerian is a key element of Kerkez's scheme and his eventual departure will have a very negative impact on the squad, the “College” have estimated.
The offers are from two of the elite and traditional teams for Belgium – Standard Liège and Ghent. It is possible that Botev will reconsider his position if the team is eliminated by Greek side Panathinaikos in the second preliminary round of the Europa League.
