Levski (Sf) Slovakian midfielder Patrik Mislovic has come under Turkish elite Goztepe's selection radar (Izmir), where the head coach is Stanimir Stoilov, www.gazeteyenigun.com.tr reports today, BTA reported.
Gosetepe has had a difficult period in recent weeks, mostly due to injuries. Goez-Goez performed well in the Super League with a fairly young squad, but have already started work on the names they plan to add to the squad in the second half of the season. The first choice of the yellow-red from Izmir will be aimed at young and hungry players.
The scouts of the club watched exactly those who distinguished themselves in the Efbet League, where the Bulgarian coach achieved great success and knows the market perfectly.
But the publication adds that it is in the middle of the field that the most important additions will be made, since the season for another well-known player in our country – Isaac Sole, ended prematurely. Ahmet Ildız, Erdoğan and the Japanese Matsuki are also not in perfect condition and often get injuries that take them out of the lineup.
This season, the 23-year-old Mislovic has 9 appearances and 1 goal for the Blues, and has played 195 games overall, scoring 19 goals and assisting another 15. Goztepe is expected to sit on the negotiating table with an option for half-season rental and purchase of Patrik Mislovic, whose contract with the Bulgarian team expires in 2026, reports also the newspaper.
At the same time, Stoilov warned that there should be no complacency in his team, despite the results – three wins in the last four matches and 6th place in the standings with 24 points after 14 games. Newspaper gazeteyenigun.com.tr reports that Göz-Göz wants to take 6 points from the matches of Hatayspor and Rizespor, which are coming up until the end of the calendar year. Coach Stanimir Stoilov said that the European dream is not far away, but you have to work hard.
In the upcoming 16th week in the Super League, Goztepe will face Hatayspor, who are in 18th place with 8 points in the championship. Then there is a match for the country's cup against Bujaspor – an easy game at first glance, but it's actually an Izmir city derby, so it's shaping up to be an unpredictable clash, and they'll then host Çaykur Rizespor at home.
Stanimir Stoilov said that Goztepe's only goal is to do everything in their power. Stating that they have a young and up-and-coming team, the Bulgarian coach emphasized that they must do their best to improve every day. And he explained that the European dream is not far away and added that they have not achieved anything yet.
"The Yellow-Reds" they have a lot to be proud of in their European performances. In the 1968-1969 season, they finished in 7th place in the local championship, in the domestic cup they entered the UEFA Cup, where they reached the semi-finals. This makes them the first semi-finalists in European tournaments from Turkey.
Göztepe visits Mersin on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. Hatayspor, who are fighting for survival as they are 18th with just 8 points.
