Mateo Stamatov is currently a free agent after leaving Pari Nizhny Novgorod in March 2023, where he played 42 matches and provided three assists. He is undergoing trials at Arda, with the management eager to strengthen the squad to provide more options for coach Alexander Tunchev before the transfer window closes. The 26-year-old left-back, who has also been part of Orenburg and Levski, has yet to make an official debut for the national team. Alexander Tunchev will soon decide whether to offer him a contract.
