According to Sportal.bg, Trabzonspor will closely monitor the performances of Christian Makoun in the USA. Trabzonspor was interested in the defender during the winter, but a transfer did not happen at that time, with one reason being that Levski did not want to sell their key players. In the spring, reports in Turkey claimed that Makoun had agreed to personal terms and that only an agreement between the clubs was needed for the transfer; however, this was not confirmed. The Venezuelan international is expected to be transferred this summer, after Levski's participation in the European tournament qualifiers.

The newspaper "Sabah" announced that Trabzonspor has started negotiations with "the Blues" for defender Christian Makoun. Interest from the Turkish team in the Venezuelan international has been a topic of discussion for months, but according to information from "Match Telegraph," no real offer for the player has been received by "the Blues" as of today.

Levski's central defender Christian Makoun has agreed to personal terms with Trabzonspor. Negotiations between the 'Blues' and the club that finished third in the Turkish Süper Lig are described as positive. Trabzonspor had previously shown interest in the 26-year-old Venezuelan international during the winter, but a transfer was not completed as 'Gerena' was unwilling to sell key players during their title challenge. The Turkish club is seeking to reinforce its central defense as they plan to sell Arseniy Batakhov and bring in younger players for their defense, with one of their main defenders, Stefan Savic, being 35. The move has reportedly been approved by Trabzonspor's coach, Fatih Tekke, and Levski is expected to ask for a transfer fee of around 3 million euros. Makoun, who has been capped 15 times for Venezuela, joined Levski in July 2024 and his contract runs until June 2027. In the current 2025/2026 season, he has made 19 appearances in the efbet Liga, scoring one goal and providing two assists. His market value is currently estimated by Transfermarkt to be €3.00m.
