B92 reports that Rapid Bucuresti has shown recent interest in Karabeljov. Rapid Bucuresti was the most recent club interested in the player, but the Romanian club was unwilling to pay compensation.

Yanis Karabelyov, a 30-year-old Bulgarian international, requested a transfer from Partizan in recent weeks due to dissatisfaction with his playing time and role. This situation followed a change in coach and system which resulted in him losing his place in the team. The player, who joined the club in July 2025 and has 12 caps for his country, is not currently part of the first team and is training at the Teleoptik sports center while awaiting a departure. In anticipation of a move, he has terminated his apartment lease in Belgrade and sent his family back to Bulgaria. This season, he has made 20 appearances in the Super liga Srbije, scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists. Partizan unofficially expects a transfer fee in the range of 150,000 to 200,000 euros, and an offer has been made that is lower than this amount. The Romanian club Rapid Bucuresti is ready to pay 100,000 euros for the midfielder. Schalke 04 and Widzew Lodz have also been linked with him. His contract with Partizan expires on June 30, 2027, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €800k.
