Jose Cordoba cut an emotional figure as he bid farewell to Levski Sofia amid transfer interest from Rangers.
The center back from Panama is now a key summertime target for Philippe Clement.
Although reports from Bulgaria indicate Norwich City is also interested in the 22-year-old, it is understood that the Ibrox club is in the driver’s seat to conclude a transfer for him.
With Brazilian left-back Jefte already a member of the team, Cordoba, who was given a tour of Ibrox earlier this month before witnessing Rangers defeat Kilmarnock, is predicted to be the club’s second summer acquisition.
And with the conclusion of Levski Sofia’s campaign in the Bulgarian premier division, it appears that day may be drawing nearer.
With their final match against champions Ludogorets, they ended a respectable campaign for the capital club by securing fourth place.
When the final whistle blew, TV camera crews moved straight onto Cordoba, where the defender was sadly saying goodbye to his Levski teammates and the club’s supporters.
They clearly didn’t miss a trick. According to a post on X, Jose Cordoba and Levski Sofia’s season came to an end. They defeated Ludogorets 1-0 in their last game.
The cameras only showed Jose Cordoba at the end of the game as he hugged and cheered his way out of the game with all of his teammates.”
After his last game for the team he has played for the past three years, it seems the athlete was venting his feelings.
Clement is getting ready for a hectic summer of work since another first-team squad change is necessary.
Borna Barisic’s departure was announced by the manager before the Scottish Cup final versus Celtic, and a contract to join Trabzonspor had already been finalized. He is anticipated to be joined in Turkey by John Lundstram.
Meanwhile, another veteran, Kemar Roofe, is scheduled to depart at the end of his contract next month.
