Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Aris Thessaloniki will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Kifisia have kept their man, and Aris Thessaloniki go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The Loren Morón story refuses to die
It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Loren Morón signs something — a contract at Aris Thessaloniki or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.
Squad24 Aug 2026
A year in and the language has not come, the city has not opened up, and he eats alone more often than anybody at Aris Thessaloniki would like to admit. It is showing on Saturdays.
Looking ahead24 Aug 2026
Kifisia, position 13, come to town on Saturday. Nobody will call it a big game and nobody at the club will be treating it as anything else.

Uroš Račić is starting to look at home
The language is arriving, the jokes are landing, and there is somebody at the next peg to talk to. None of it appears in a scouting report and all of it shows up on the pitch.
Back issues

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Aris Thessaloniki will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

St. Gallen pay $3.9M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Olympiacos is saying, and nobody at Aris Thessaloniki is enjoying the guessing.
Market17 Aug 2026
Tasos Donis has left for Panserraikos in a $840.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
Aris Thessaloniki asked and OFI said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

No place for Filip Bainović in the new shape
He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Aris Thessaloniki are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Panathinaikos paid $5.7M and Aris Thessaloniki took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.
Market10 Aug 2026
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Transfer targets10 Aug 2026
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Aris Thessaloniki have done the hard part with OFI, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ricardo Velho and Aris Thessaloniki agree another 4 years.

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Panserraikos have kept their man, and Aris Thessaloniki go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Market10 Aug 2026
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Andreas Lampropoulos has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Braian Uribe and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
