Yanev stated that the absence of Adrian Lapeña from CSKA's last preseason test was entirely his decision. This came in response to a question about whether this indicates that the Spaniard will leave CSKA during the summer transfer window.

According to Tema Sport, CSKA will end their association with defender Adrian Lapeña during the current month. The player is not part of the long-term plans of Hristo Yanev, and the club's management is holding talks with his agents to terminate his contract.

Spanish centre-back Adrián Lapeña, 30, will leave CSKA. Adrián Lapeña did not meet expectations and was not included in the plans of head coach Hristo Yanev for most of the spring. He joined the club in February 2025 and has been associated with a potential move to Córdoba. His current Transfermarkt market value is €700k.
