Legia Warszawa may sign Bulgarian defender Petko Hristov from Italian Spezia. According to Italian sources, cited by TMW and TuttoC, Warsaw club has been interested in Hristov. The 27-year-old central defender has played in Serie A, is the captain of the Italian team and after Spezia's relegation to Serie C may change club. Italian sources say that Legia has already contacted Spezia and the player's entourage. In the matter, Marcin Kubacki, the agent of Arkadiusz Reca, who knows the realities of the Ligurian club, is involved. Reca played for Spezia for several seasons, and from 2025 he will be a Legia player. Spezia expects to receive around 1.5 million euros for Hristov. This is a high amount for the Ekstraklasa, but close to the player's valuation according to transfermarkt. The Bulgarian has a contract until June 30, 2028, is a basic defender and captain of the team. According to Italian media, Legia has about a week to decide whether it is willing to pay such an amount or direct attention to other targets. Hristov is open to a transfer to Poland. A three-year contract would be involved. This is an important detail, as it shows that the player is already part of the ongoing negotiations. However, there is still a long way to go to resolve the matter. Spezia is in a difficult situation after relegation to Serie C, and organizational changes are underway around the club. The lack of a fully operational sports director is slowing down the talks. Maybe at Łazienkowska they are quietly counting on the problems of the Italian club making the financial conditions of the potential transfer more favorable with each passing day?
