Defender in talks to join Euro outfit after Leeds United exit this summer

Former Leeds United defender Liam Cooper is currently a free agent and he is in talks to join CSKA Sofia on a free transfer.

The 33-year-old center defense left the Championship team at the end of June, and in the last few weeks, he has been connected to a number of different teams.

Football Insider reports that CSKA Sofia is willing to give him a chance this season; it is to be seen if all sides can reach a consensus. He has consistently demonstrated his talent in the Championship, and there is no question that he is qualified for the Bulgarian league as well.

The Bulgarian team will be hoping that he can start off strong if they sign him on a free transfer, which would be a no-risk move. If he is successful, he might end up being a huge value for them.

He is a free agent, therefore CSKA Sofia can sign him even though the Bulgarian league’s transfer window has ended.

Not only will the seasoned center defender help them strengthen their defense, but his leadership abilities may also prove to be very beneficial in the locker room.

The center defender, who left Leeds United last summer after eleven years with the team, has a wealth of elite competition experience.

The Bulgarian team has only won once in their first six league games, making this a poor season thus far. They will be counting on the new players they have signed to help them make a quick recovery.

It would be intriguing to see if we can rapidly adjust and make an early impression in the Bulgarian league, since Cooper has the quality and experience to succeed there. Even if his career is nearing its end, he will be eager to establish himself in a foreign league.
