It is not considered a surprise that Bulgarian clubs such as Ludogorets, CSKA Sofia, or Levski Sofia might show interest in Kiril Despodov, a 29-year-old Bulgarian winger whose future at PAOK is uncertain. Scenarios have reportedly emerged from Bulgaria regarding specific interest from CSKA Sofia. With only one year remaining on his contract, PAOK cannot have high demands, and it is believed a reasonable amount could be enough to acquire the player. Despodov, who joined PAOK in September 2023, has a current market value of €6.00m according to Transfermarkt and has earned 60 caps for the Bulgaria national team, scoring 15 goals.
