Marin Petkov

The most definitive figure is the reported transfer fee of approximately €1 million paid by Al Taawoun in February 2026. In the preceding months, reports from December 2025 stated Levski Sofia's asking price was at least €1.3 million amid interest from Maccabi Haifa, who had reportedly offered less than €1 million the previous summer. In August 2025, Raków Częstochowa's offer of €1.1 million plus add-ons was rejected, while Viborg was reportedly prepared to offer €1 million. Other valuations mentioned in rumours include a €2.2 million buyout clause (December 2024), conflicting reports of interest from AC Milan with potential bids between €1 million and €4 million (December 2024), and market value estimates from Transfermarkt ranging from €2.5 million to €3.5 million during 2025.

Our valuation is driven by the completed transfer of Marin Petkov to Al Taawoun in February 2026 for a reported fee of approximately €1 million. This figure is consistent with multiple rejected bids and asking prices from late 2025, where Levski Sofia sought around €1.3 million and turned down offers in the €1 million to €1.1 million range. While various market value estimates were significantly higher, the concrete transfer fee and consistent pattern of negotiations confirm a value in the low seven-figure range.
