In a significant development within Bulgarian football, Ludogorets has officially confirmed the acquisition of Alberto Salido Tejero from PFC Beroe Stara Zagora. This transfer, finalized on February 24, marks a pivotal moment as several top Bulgarian clubs had been vying for the Spanish striker’s signature ahead of the closing phase of the domestic transfer window.
Salido, whose career includes stints at renowned Spanish teams such as Atlético de Madrid, Mallorca, and Leganés, has been a standout figure in Bulgaria’s First League during his sophomore season. His prowess on the pitch has not gone unnoticed, as evidenced by the considerable interest from multiple leading Bulgarian sides competing for his services.
Proven Scoring Threat in Bulgaria’s Top Flight
Throughout the current campaign, Salido has demonstrated remarkable consistency and offensive capability. Occupying the position of the fourth-highest goal scorer in the league, he has netted 10 goals and provided 4 assists across 20 appearances. These statistics place him tantalizingly close to his personal best set in the 2024/25 season, when he recorded 12 goals alongside 5 assists.
His impact on the field, characterized by decisive contributions and an influential presence in attack, substantiates the rationale behind Ludogorets’ pursuit. The club’s successful negotiation to bring Salido into their ranks underscores their ambition to strengthen their offensive line as the season progresses.
