Ludogorets is showing interest in acquiring Marius Mouandilmadji. It was reported that Samsunspor has set a price of 3 million euros for the player, despite his contract nearing its expiration in a year. However, Ludogorets seems unlikely to meet this demand for a player who is not projected to be a long-term starter, especially with Kwadwo Duah expected to return soon and substantial resources already dedicated to Erik Bile. Coach Rui Mota emphasized the need for a new forward due to Duah's injury, which has kept him out of matches against Dinamo Minsk. Presently, Ludogorets depends on Erik Bile as their sole traditional striker and has even positioned winger Bernard Tekpetey as a forward during a friendly match against Copenhagen. Consequently, the club might look into options within the domestic league for a more budget-friendly acquisition or consider a loan deal until the year's end.
