Levski Sofia striker Mustapha Sangaré is being linked with a move to Azerbaijani champions Qarabağ.
The 27-year-old centre-forward, who holds both Malian and French nationality, is the subject of transfer speculation suggesting a switch from Bulgaria’s efbet Liga to the Premyer Liqa. The reported probability of the transfer has not been specified, with the move currently listed only as “?” on transfer databases.
Sangaré, valued at €1.50m, has seen his market value rise sharply during his time at Levski Sofia, climbing from €200,000 in September 2024 to its current level by December 2025. With no contract expiry date publicly listed, there is also scope for further intrigue around his status, including the possibility he could move on more easily in future windows should his deal run down or he becomes a free agent.
Born in Paris on 24 December 1998 and standing at 1.96m, the right-footed attacker joined Levski from Portuguese side Varzim SC on 9 July 2024. Before moving to Bulgaria, he featured in France for Amiens SC, FC Borgo (on loan) and Racing Club de France, as well as CO Vincennes earlier in his career.
His journey has taken him from the French lower tiers, through Ligue 2 with Amiens and on to Portugal’s lower divisions with Varzim before his current spell in Sofia. That steady climb has been reflected in his market value history, which hovered around €200,000 for several seasons before his surge at Levski.
Levski’s domestic and European aspirations, together with Qarabağ’s regular presence in continental competitions, make any potential deal significant for Sangaré’s next step. If the move materialises, a transfer to Azerbaijan could offer the powerful forward a new platform to enhance his reputation and push his career onto a higher international stage.
