InPAOK says that Henrique ended conversations with the Brazilian club(s) that were interested in him (I remember a few articles about this last month), as he is apparently *that* interested in returning to PAOK. Personally, I'd always rather a player who intensely wants to play for our team. It will be good to see him back and throwing elbows. Assuming Lucescu will actually play him.
Shakhov is who I have my money on not being renewed in the summer. But there appear to be offers (or at least interest) from Basiktas, Fenerbahce, and Galatasaray for Warda. I guess we'll know more very soon.
El Kaddouri would not solve the problem, as he has a Belgian passport. One of the foreign players (without a second passport) that's currently on the first team needs to make way: Matos, Mauricio, Jaba, Warda, Kacheridi, Shakhov
If someone offers us 7 million for Koulouris, then we'd be foolish not to sell. His numbers this season are unreal...and if we get the guy from Wolves (and he works out), expect the team to move on Karelis, who will cost us peanuts.
-edit- Fenerbahce also might move on Warda. Wouldn't be a terrible idea, if they open up their wallets enough. Wouldn't mind Henrique coming back if that is the case (or Vieirinha being played in his preferred position).
Since when are Tosca and Vieirinha not enough on the left side? Man, talk about panicking...
Lyratzis has been announced (renewed) by little George:
Linked with Leo Bonatini, who is a Brazilian with an Italian passport: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leo-bonatini/profil/spieler/181781
If we get this guy, expect Koulouris to be sold next summer (if the rumors are all true).
While they might move for Berg, I still don't think it's necessary. Our issue isn't with our strikers (and as Boston said, we didn't hire two new strikers this summer for no reason). That plus a Koulouris option to recall tells me that we might not see someone bought.
Though it would be just like us to overcompensate and recall Koulouris, buy some mercenary, and also a 19-year-old CF from Croatia as well.
Probably the same way we lost to garbage teams ?
At this point I would support paying Atromitos (and maybe loaning a few players out to them to sweeten the deal) to get him back.
Another player we're linked with for a position where we do not need reinforcements: https://www.transfermarkt.com/mattheus/profil/spieler/226138
Unless Fenerbahce somehow steals Pelkas away from us.
