AEK to Announce Georgiev Signing

Published December 30, 2025, 07:27

AEK is expected to announce the signing of Martin Georgiev on New Year's Eve. The 20-year-old Bulgarian defender has already agreed to terms with AEK, passed his medical tests, and completed the necessary photoshoots. The transfer fee is slightly over 2 million euros. The acquisition of Georgiev is considered a well-researched move, resulting from the work of Javier Ribalta and his network of associates. AEK believes that Georgiev has great potential and can offer immediate solutions to the team, while possessing different characteristics from the existing center-backs, such as speed. Georgiev has already played for the Bulgarian national team, having participated in three World Cup qualifying matches. He will be immediately available to Marko Nikolic, who has approved the move. AEK is now focusing on signing a midfielder and a forward, without ruling out strengthening in other positions. However, the next additions may be delayed, as the team is looking for players who can make an immediate impact.
