The Levski Chronicle

From our football correspondent Steady

Market17 Aug 2026

Levski say no — this time

The offer from Hajduk Split for Mustapha Sangaré was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market17 Aug 2026

Levski sign Fourat Soltani for $1.6M

The paperwork is done: Fourat Soltani joins from CSKA 1948 in a deal worth $1.6M. Now comes the harder part.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Levski

Svetoslav Vutsov was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match15 Aug 2026

Christian Makoun sends Levski past Septemvri

It finished 2‑1, and it was Christian Makoun’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Levski.

One of those days for Armstrong Oko-Flex

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.95, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Christian Makoun in the eights

A performance of 8.95 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

No hiding place for Álex Centelles

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Álex Centelles, and the manager let it.

One of those days for Rildo

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.16, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

A masterclass from Everton Bala

Marked 8.04 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Everton Bala runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market10 Aug 2026

Montana come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Levski did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market10 Aug 2026

Juan Perea attracts admirers

The name of Juan Perea has come up in conversations Levski were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Mazire Soula signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Mazire Soula commits to Levski for another 3 years.

Tempers go at Levski

Christian Makoun was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match8 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Levski against Arda

0‑1 to Arda, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad10 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Armstrong Oko-Flex

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Armstrong Oko-Flex, and the manager let it.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Nobody left the Levski dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Market10 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Everton Bala's contract

48 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Dynamo Kyiv come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Levski did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Stipe Vulikić puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Levski, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Armstrong Oko-Flex

Successful dribbles: 25. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Álex Centelles stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Álex Centelles and Levski agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Eyes on David Kusso again

The phone has started ringing about David Kusso again, and this time the name on the line is Montana. Levski are listening politely and promising nothing.
