Journalists Joao Paulo and Dan Abreu state that Maicon is a target for Corinthians. Cifut Brasil reports that Corinthians is targeting the signing of Maicon Araújo, a 26-year-old left-back from Levski Sofia.

Sportal.bg reports that Corinthians may withdraw from signing Maicon. The left-back from Levski is the subject of serious interest from the South American club, but apparently, the team is not willing to wait until September for him to be in their squad.

Three clubs from Brazil's Serie A are monitoring Maicon, a 25-year-old Brazilian left back who joined Levski in July 2024. One of the clubs is Corinthians, and the other two are reportedly newcomers Remo and Coritiba. It is said that all three clubs are assessing the conditions for a potential transfer and considering making offers. This is currently a preparatory phase, as no official proposals have been submitted. A potential transfer is complicated by Maicon's contract with Levski, which runs until the summer of 2027. The player has also confirmed he is in talks with the club's management about a new contract, which strengthens the Bulgarian club's negotiating position. In the 2025/2026 season, Maicon has scored 4 goals and provided 3 assists in 18 efbet Liga appearances. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €3.00m.
