Sportal.bg reports on CSKA's interest in signing defensive midfielder Lucas Ventura from Hapoel Be'er Sheva. CSKA is interested in signing defensive midfielder Lucas Ventura from Hapoel Be'er Sheva. The early exit of Hapoel from international tournaments will force them to sell some of their stars, including Ventura, to bring fresh funds to the club. Ventura's friend, Pastor, is a new addition to CSKA, which could influence his decision.

Lucas Ventura was almost confirmed as a new addition to CSKA Sofia, but recent reports indicate that the 27-year-old will not be joining the Bulgarian league. Instead, the Brazilian midfielder has decided to sign with Maccabi Tel Aviv after receiving a better offer that he could not refuse. This dramatic turn of events occurred just as the deal with CSKA Sofia seemed inevitable. According to Transfermarkt, the player has a current market value of €1.40 million.
