Botev Plovdiv will acquire 26-year-old Spanish forward Alberto Salido from Ludogorets on a loan deal. The transfer is expected to be finalized one day before the transfer window closes. Salido, who previously developed in the youth systems of Mallorca and Atletico Madrid, joined Ludogorets in February 2026 after a spell at Beroe during which he scored 19 goals in 50 league games. The forward is considered fully fit and might make his debut in the derby against Lokomotiv next Sunday. His contract with Ludogorets is valid until the end of 2028, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €800k.
