Transfer News and Rumors - Summer 2020

[Blackhawk]

Let's not forget Arsenal had 40% ownership of Akpom, so unless the deal is structured differently between PAOK, Arsenal and Middlesbrough,  out of the 3 mil PAOK will get 1.8 mil and Arsenal 1.2 mil. Not that good of a deal in my opinion, but since we let his contract linger without renewing it last season, our negotiation position was not the best.

Akpom's high-lite at PAOK for me is the Greek Cup winning goal against AEX.

Good luck Chuba.

Yeah, I forgot about the huge resale rate. Still, we'll make roughly a million off of him. I'll count any small win. Will be interesting to see how much money we make up until the transfer window closes. I can't imagine that we're in anywhere near as precarious a position as we were before, though.

Το ιδανικό σενάριο είναι να μπούμε ομίλους Τσάμπιονς Λιγκ και ο γαύρος να πάει στο Ουέφα... Εκεί θα μαζέψουμε πολύ χρήμα. Προφανώς πολύ δύσκολο έως αδύνατο να συμβεί κάτι τέτοιο.

[Blackhawk]

Current rumors and fake news:

- Giannoulis will sign a new 3-year deal without buyout option. Salary: 500K per season

- The Akpon replacement is apparently in Thessaloniki and will be announced tomorrow. Rumors are it's Colak from Rijeka. Rijeka wants 5 mil but PAOK is giving 3.5 mil plus large resale option. If things fail with Rijeka we have Ponse (ex-AEX player) on standby.

- Paschalakis will be sold for 1.5 mil'

- we are close to signing a right back sooner than later

Blackhawk, do you recall what Giannoulis is making now?

 

Colak highlights are kind of fun (but perhaps he'll end up in Turkey, if the maker of this vid has anything to say about it!) :

 

[Blackhawk]

He was making around 300K with a 10 mil buyout option.

[Pontos]

Croatian media saying it's done. Nice highlight video, I like the composure he shows in one v one situations.

RWB the priority now, don't know if this will be an unpopular opinion, but I wouldn't mind bringing Kitsiou back on the cheap. Feel like this system highlights his strengths and would make the most of his ability. 

[kozi]

New right back?

2 Karlo Bartolec

Re Colak: saw on instagram a claim that savvidis said it wasn't happening but I didn't see the referenced denial anywhere...

As for Kitsiou...he had his chances, has there been any improvement while in Turkey?

What is going on there? You have definitely stumbled upon something there potentially, nice detective work!

not a fan of the Colak signing if it goes ahead. did nothing in germany

[Bananas]

Colak - whenever I see his name I think of the old TV show Colchak - The Night Stalker.

[PAOKSYD]

Veirinhia has been added to our PAOK FC transfermarket page again.... 

Have we signed him on the sly?

Looking at it again probably nothing. He did play against us for Lokomotiva a few years ago, think it stems from that.

There are reports that we're in for him as a right back, looks decent...we'll see how it plays out.

 

 

[pash]

Yeah he's all over social media but maybe all of a sudden the team will get better at keeping their real targets on lockdown? Who knows!

[PAOKSYD]

Yeah sign a Cavani , lets make some real noise! 

[pash]

Sounds like Z Zivkovic will be extended another year soon, better pay as well

Doubt it. He's never been taken off the PAOK roster on the PAE PAOK web site official roster list . I think they are keeping him there until the transfer period ends and then they'll take him off (if he does not sign)

Jaba and Matos were left off the squad for the Atromitos game. I expect Matos to be se free and Jaba to be loaned out.

[Blackhawk]

The Colak transfer is apparently not happening. Reports (rumors) say we are waiting for an answer from another player.

[PAOKSYD]

Metrosport & Petrotos! Making up the colak story as requested by PAOK if u ask me, so they can focus elsewhere

[Blackhawk]

Possibly but today's rumor is that our plan B player asked for extra time and we are revisiting the Colak option.

[Athens4]

Any news on the Paschalakis front? Would like to hear that he has been sold.

[pash]

There are a bunch of names floating around social media but I won't bother sharing them as I doubt any are true. But I will say that if a player is having second thoughts, then they should be passed over. I can't recall the last time that ended well.

[pash]

Big grain of salt here:

A reminder that we have until Monday night to amend our list for UEFA. So if he "asks for more time" at the last second, we'd be SOL

[pash]

Well this came out of nowhere. This would be a loan (if true):

InPAOK reporting: https://inpaok.com/657780/pairnei-vagke-apo-bartselona-o-paok/

 

He's Senegalese, not sure where we are now as far as the non-EU players are concerned?

Mihojevic

Z Zivkovic

A Zivkovic

Ingason

Pereira

Soares

Matos

Jaba

Ninua

Warda

 

That's ten players (not including this guy). Ninua, Mihojevic, Jaba are all over 21 so I don't think we can use the youth loophole. Warda and Matos will be gone soon (I assume), as will Mihojevic.
