The paperwork begins on Kristian Kushta

Panionios asked and PAOK said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Panserraikos are about to pick up the phone
A conversation is coming this week. Panionios will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.
