According to our media's information, the 18-year-old opposite, who was named MVP of the State Volleyball Finals for boys under 18, where CSKA won the title, may join the structure of Allianz Milano.
The news of the departure was confirmed toVolleyWeek.bgby CSKA's head coach Aleksandar Popov. He clarified that he himself learned about the volleyball player's decision this morning. However, the club did not confirm that Manushev's next destination would be Milan.
Currently, the young opposite is at a training camp with the Bulgarian national team U20.
VolleyWeek.bgsought comment from the team's head coach Vencislav Simeonov, who stated that he learned about the upcoming transfer from us.
If the move is finalized, Manushev will join a club whose men's team will also feature another CSKA youth player from the new season Georgi Tatarov.
The national team player is also a product of the "Red Men's" academy and already has experience with the men's squad of the capital club.
Thus, Allianz Milano is set to bring together two Bulgarian volleyball players who grew up in the CSKA academy, although Manushev will initially continue his potential development in the youth structure of the Italian club.
For CSKA, the departure of the young opposite is a serious loss, as the club had counted on him to be part of the future of the men's team.
