Borussia Dortmund is one of the main options for Maicon, Levski Sofia's 25-year-old Brazilian left-back. The Turkish club Fenerbahçe and teams from Saudi Arabia are also current possibilities for the player, who was named the best defender in the Bulgarian championship in 2025. There was also earlier interest from Beşiktaş, Nantes, Alavés, Como, and Al-Ahli.
According to media publications, Levski wants five million euros for Maicon. He arrived at the club in July 2024 from Nova Iguaçu for 250,000 euros. The defender's contract with the Bulgarian club runs until June 2027, and he has 5 goals and 5 assists in 26 league appearances in the 2025/26 season. His current Transfermarkt market value is €3.50 million. In the summer of 2025, an offer of just over €3 million from Nantes was reportedly rejected. In late 2025, Levski's asking price was widely reported as €4 million.
