Polish sources report that "Halkbank" intends to attract Tsvetan Sokolov and the Bulgarian opposite has an interest in this cooperation. Sokolov is currently with Dynamo Moscow, where he has been since the 2020/21 season. He has played for Halkbank for two seasons - 2014/2015 and 2015/2016, and has won a championship title. A year earlier, the team was led by Radostin Stoychev, and Matey Kaziyski was also among the team's ranks. If the rumor turns out to be true, Sokolov will reunite with Leal, with whom he was a teammate in the years he was with Italian Lube.

In an interview given to "Tema Sport", Sokolov does not rule out the possibility of continuing his career outside of Russia.
