Massimo Eccheli's team, which participated in this year's Champions League, barely managed to retain its place in the Italian elite.
The transfer happened with the help of the talent's manager, former "Squadra Azzurra" national player Emanuele Birarelli. The eccentric former player of "Bulgarian" Trento watched the U18 European Championship, hosted by Sofia.

He probably noticed Velichkov's qualities there, who will turn 18 in June. The contract starts in August.

Thus, the silver medalist from Euro 2024 in Greece and Serbia will be able to gain valuable experience in the strongest league on the planet, where Alex Nikolov, Georgi Tatarov, and Denislav Bardarov also play. Iliya Petkov from Tuzuza is expected to join them.
Velichkov has been invited to participate in three national teams, including the men's team, which will train jointly with the U21s in Samokov.
