News From a news agency Ongoing story
  • Aris are still seeking a central defender before the Greek transfer window closes on Sept. 15, while Bulgarian reports have renewed interest in Christian Makoun.
  • The reports say Levski Sofia could accept about 3.5 million euros for the Venezuelan international.
  • Talks had stalled after mid-August, but Aris have continued monitoring the player in case Levski softens its demands.

Christian Makoun is back in the picture at Aris, at least according to reports from Bulgaria. As the Thessaloniki club continues searching for a central defender, the Venezuelan international has reappeared as a possible target.

The Bulgarian newspaper Telegraph reported that Makoun is very likely to continue his career at Aris. It said Levski Sofia could free a foreign-player spot in the coming hours and that Aris could pay 3.5 million euros to acquire him.

The report also noted that Greece’s transfer market closes after Bulgaria’s. Any agreement, it said, would therefore need to be completed within the next few hours. Aris’ discussions with Levski had frozen shortly after Aug. 15, but the Greek club has quietly continued to follow the case.

Aris reportedly kept the deal in reserve in case Levski became more flexible over its demands. The coming days, or even hours, will show whether the renewed Bulgarian reports point to a real transfer or only more smoke around the stalled talks.
