According to "Tema Sport", CSKA is attempting to finalize negotiations for a new contract with Lumbard Delova. After a series of talks, the "reds" are determined to reach a final agreement with the defender. Negotiations are progressing, with both parties clarifying the final parameters. CSKA is offering a contract extension until 2029, a salary increase to approximately 30,000 euros, and the removal of the old buyout option. Delova is inclined to commit long-term but insists on having a fixed transfer option of over 1.5 million euros.

CSKA is negotiating a contract extension with Lumbard Delova due to a low release clause in his current contract, which makes him attractive to many clubs. The club wants to secure his services long-term with a new contract offering significantly increased financial terms and a higher release clause. The news was confirmed by coach Dusko Kerkes. Additionally, Transfermarkt currently estimates his market worth at 1 million euros.
