AC Milan has made headlines with their latest acquisition, securing the services of teenage defender Valeri Vladimirov from Bulgarian
side Botev Plovdiv. The transfer, which has been finalized for an undisclosed fee, marks a significant investment in the future for the
Rossoneri.
Valeri Vladimirov, a highly regarded young talent, has been making waves in the Bulgarian football scene with his impressive
performances for Botev Plovdiv’s senior team. The 18-year-old defender, known for his robust defensive capabilities and maturity
beyond his years, has attracted attention from several top European clubs. Milan’s decision to bring him on board underscores their
commitment to nurturing young talent and building for the future.
Vladimirov, who primarily plays as a center-back but is also comfortable operating as a right-back, has been lauded for his tactical
intelligence, strong aerial presence, and composure under pressure. His performances in the Bulgarian top flight have demonstrated

his leadership qualities, which are rare for someone of his age.
The young defender’s transfer to Milan is seen as a strategic move to bolster the club’s defensive options while investing in a promising
prospect. Milan has a rich history of developing young players, and Vladimirov’s addition to their ranks fits perfectly with this
philosophy. The club is hopeful that he will integrate well with their existing squad and adapt quickly to the demands of Serie A.
In a statement, Milan’s Sporting Director, Paolo Maldini, expressed enthusiasm about the signing: “Valeri is a player we have been
