Bulgarian Levski's Football Star to Leave on Record Transfer
Garra Dembele, the Bulgarian Levski squad's top striker, is to leave the club during the upcoming transfer window in exchange for at least EUR 3.5 M, Todor Batkov, Chairman of the club has announced.
The luxurious deal would set a record for the team, as a Levski player has never been sold that expensive. Even though Batkov did not mention the team interested in signing Dembele, reports say German Werder Bremen and English Reading are among the candidates for the talented forward.
The prolific 24-year old French striker has put on an impressive display this season, hitting the net 26 times in 26 games so far, which leaves him with chances to grab the European Golden Boots award.
Garra Dembele, started his career as an exciting young prospect in the French team of Auxerre. He even played in the French Under-21 national squad. In October 2006, though, his career went downhill, as he was accused of raping 22-year old American student while in Rome. The raping charges were subsequently dropped, but Dembele never played in a top-level European team since this case.
Even though the striker's career seems to be getting back on track, he was recently busted driving under the influence, joining the list of more and more football players in Bulgaria, who have been involved in alcohol-induced scandals.
