Transfer market: Karl Etta Eyong rejects €30 million offer from CSKA Moscow, putting Levante under pressure

Cameroon striker Karl Etta Eyong rejected a €30 million offer from CSKA Moscow during the 2026 winter transfer window, preferring to wait for a move to a more ambitious European club in the summer. Levante, which had hoped to secure a major financial deal, was reportedly frustrated by his decision. Eyong was a substitute in the 0-1 defeat to Villarreal; some linked his absence from the starting lineup to his refusal, but coach Luís Castro said it was a technical decision. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal, Fulham and Everton were also named as interested clubs.
