I hope that does not happen. I don't think we should be signing a striker that had 0 goals last season. As for Kenny he is coming to Thessaloniki tomorrow to sign his 3-year deal worth 800K per season.

Savvidis did reply 12 hours after the Mistakidis/Amateur (Erasitexnis) PAOK announcement. He basically said that PAE PAOK is not for sale, and that he promised to build a new Toumba and his plan is still to accomplish that. He also added that any financial help in order to build the new stadium is welcomed. In my opinion what Erasitexnis and Mistakidis are doing with their announcement is an attempt take over the PAE PAOK by forcing him to sell the team to them. I am also certain that they are doing with the help of the Greek government whose eventual goal is to take over the Thessaloniki port from Savvidis and chase him out of Greece on orders from US/EU governments. I would like to be proven wrong, but there is no way all three will sit down together and agree to cooperate building the new stadium. The stadium will either be build immediately by Mistakidis, who will also be the new owner of PAE PAOK. In that case all the necessary permits will be issued right away. Also in this case, I am not sure that the new stadium will be build at the Toumba location. I would not be surprised if it is going t be build somewhere else. The other option will be Savvidis staying as owner of PAE PAOK and the new stadium will drag for years, with government throwing in obstacles like they did for the past 3 to 4 years.

Korakidis got the spot on the team. I think that's a gamble. I would have preferred the more experienced Frantzeskakis.

Big news concerning the new Toumba stadium. The amateur PAOK, the owners of Toumba Stadium, have come to an agreement with Aristotelis Mystakidis to finance the construction of the new stadium. Mystakidis himself came out with a press release: https://www.sdna.gr/podosfairo/1321900_i-proti-dilosi-mystakidi-gia-ti-nea-toympa

Mantzouranis decided not be part of the team for the European Team competition. Zaltos is thinking of doing the same, so in the end it might either Anastasakis or Frantzeskakis that will represent Greece in the competition.
-
Someone on Instagram posted that we signed Spanish 2nd division player Casas. Eventually that Instagram post used Greek press reports that PAOK is after the player, which means that it was just stupid rumor. Instead of Hatzidiakos and Fountas, I would rather have players from our academies joining our 'A' team.
-
Well here in the US the problem was that for the two channels (Antenna Satellite and Sport Plus) the satellite providers (Dishnetwork) were using SD (Standard Definition) instead of HD (High Definition). Since the beginning of this year Dishnetwork stopped distributing the Greek channels via their satellites (and SD) and instead they are now feeding those signals via streaming which resulted in a much better signal.
-
I think either one will be ok for the European Team competition. I would go with Zaltos. What is extraordinary is the fact that so far this season we have 9 hammer throwers over 70 meters (and 5 over 75 meters), something unheard of in the past.
-
PAOK and Pavlenka agreed to a 2-year deal, which will be officially announced when the keeper returns to Thessaloniki to start the pre-season training. This basically means that Kotarski is history. Taison turned down our 500K (+ bonuses) offer for one more season. Let's see if we will make him a better offer.
-
Still no TV contract for the next season's Superleague games. Savvidis said that if we don't receive a contract that is close to the ones that AEK and Panathinaikos get, he will award the rights to the PAOK home games to OPEN TV.

3:2 away win in a friendly game against Serbia with the winning goal being score in the last minute of the game.
-
I think we paid around 3 mil for Despodov. I guess we just want to break even. I would keep him, but I think he wants more playing time, which he will not get with Zivkovic on the team.
-
Metrosport is the biggest enemy of PAOK in Thessaloniki, specially now that we decided not to use the Makedonikos stadium for the 'B' team games (Andronis: owner of Makedonikos and Metrosport). They employ some of the worst anti-PAOK reporters. I also like how they conveniently forget to mention any expenses that a club like PAOK might have.

Well it would be good if we drop to Conference league from the playoff round of EL, which would mean we will play in the League Phase of Conference League. However our no. 1 goal is to make the League Phase of EL. -

Expect a lot of rumors for young players from Spanish lower division teams now that the ex-Real Madrid scouter has joined PAOK.
-
We are very close to announcing Pavlenka for 2 years at 600K per year. Also, the offer to Taylor is for 3-year contract at 800K per year. If the player agrees, he could be announced early next week. Another rumor is that we offered Taison a contract for 500K with reduced playing time as compared to previous seasons.
-
You are talking about our no. 1 keeper for the next season ...
-
And we now have a rumor with the name of the left back that we are allegedly after: Greg Taylor (Celtic Glasgow)

Here is the current situation in the Europa League Qualifying Round 3, where PAOK will start the 2025-2026 European season. Only confirmed teams are listed. EUROPA LEAGUE - QUALIFYING ROUND 3 (August 7/August 14) Seeded Teams PAOK Thessaloniki 42.250 Unseeded Teams (possible opponents for PAOK) Wolfsberger AC (AUT) 9.500 Fredrikstad FK (NOR) 7.937 ------------------------------------------------------------------ If we qualify: EUROPA LEAGUE - PLAYOFF ROUND (August 21/August 28) Seeded Teams PAOK Thessaloniki 42.250 Unseeded Teams (possible opponents for PAOK) Racing Genk (BEL) 11.370 FC Aberdeen (SCO) 9.500 Sigma Olomouc (CZE) 8.820 -
Now that the coaching situation has been resolved (if there ever was one), let the rumors resume: - Tanzanian press is reporting that Samatta is negotiating with PAOK for a new contract - Despodov claiming that he has 2 years left in his contract, but anything can change in 24 hours - Otto is pretty much history - we are close to sign a left back as a Baba backup - Galatasaray is after Kotarski, but have not talked to PAOK about it yet.
