A possible transfer of Ivan Turtsiov to Pisa is facing failure, according to media in Italy. Head coach Filippo Inzaghi has set his sights on a defender from Curacao at the expense of the Bulgarian.
The publication sport.quotidiano.net reports that Turtsiov will be ignored in favor of the Dutch-born Tirik Mercera, BTA adds.
The Bulgarian national team is in a camp with the "army men" in Turkey. His high salary and inconsistent games have forced the management of CSKA-Sofia to try to part with him.
