Liam Cooper Joins CSKA Sofia with Record Salary, Becoming Club’s Highest-Paid Player
Liam Cooper’s new salary at CSKA Sofia has been disclosed following his recent move from Leeds United. The transfer, which was finalized earlier this week after the expiration of his Leeds contract this summer, has generated significant buzz.
Top Sport has reported on the defender’s transfer and included comments from CSKA Sofia manager Alexander Tomas, who played a pivotal role in persuading Cooper to join the Bulgarian club. According to their coverage, CSKA Sofia officially announced the much-anticipated signing of Cooper yesterday, marking him as their 12th acquisition in a bustling transfer window.
The report highlights that Cooper’s arrival has significantly raised the wage standards at CSKA Sofia. Prior to his signing, the club maintained a relatively controlled salary structure, but Cooper will now become the highest earner on the team. The salary details indicate that Cooper will earn approximately €750,000 per year, translating to about €62,500 per month. Notably, he turned down offers from Blackburn Rovers and Hull City to finalize his deal with CSKA Sofia.
Cooper’s move underscores his growing influence in European football and CSKA Sofia’s ambition to strengthen their squad.
