Contract rebel linked to Coventry City nears end to months of uncertainty about his future
Coventry City transfer news from CoventryLive as defensive midfielder linked to Sky Blues looks set for German move
Reported Coventry City transfer target Andrian Kraev appears to be edging towards securing himself a new club, ending months of uncertainty about his future.
The Sky Blues were linked with the 25-year-old holding midfielder earlier this year when Sportal.bg claimed the club were one of three English Championship sides, along with play-off rivals Hull City and mid-table Middlesbrough, who were “monitoring the situation” around the Levski Sofia player who is now a free agent after running down his contract.
Forced to train with the youth team since January, the contract rebel is now hoping to secure a move to Germany where he has been the subject of inquiries from the second division Hannover 96 and Hamburger SV.

However, liga-zwei report he could be the “right candidate” for the defensive midfield of FC Kaiserslautern. It says that in keeping with reports from several Bulgarian media outlets, promising talks are underway between the FCK and Kraev’s management, and says the Red Devils are said to be offering the right-footer a two-year contract.

QPR winning transfer race seems vital amid potential Blackburn Rovers and Bristol City developments: View
QPR has already made key signings in the transfer window to bolster their Championship squad for the upcoming season.
The potential signing of Zan Celar is vital given the likelihood of departures from the team’s striking options.
Securing Celar before their rivals would prevent additional pressure on QPR’s ability to compete successfully.
QPR have already started to get some of their business done in the summer transfer window in what could be a new-look side come August 30.
The West London outfit will be looking to put together a squad capable of climbing up the Championship table, following their great escape from relegation at the end of last season.
Goalkeeper Paul Nardi, centre-back Liam Morrison and right-back Hevertton Santos have all already completed permanent moves to Loftus Road since the market opened.
There is still work to do for the R’s though before the window closes, if they are to give manager Marti Cifuentes everything he needs for the coming campaign.
Now it seems as though they are indeed closing in on their fourth signing of the window, in apparently impressive fashion.
Zan Celar set for QPR transfer after deal agreed with Lugano
According to a recent report from Football Insider, QPR are closing in on the signing of striker Zan Celar from Swiss side Lugano.
It is thought that the Slovenian international is set to undergo a medical ahead of a move to Loftus Road, having agreed a deal with the R’s.
The deal is apparently seen as something of a coup for the club, given the level of interest there is in the striker, both from at home and abroad, with Hull City one of the clubs that were keen on bringing Celar to England.
Celar is due to join after scoring 51 goals in 115 appearances in all competitions for Lugano during a three-year spell with the club.
