Market10 Jul 2028

Ognjen Ugrešić agrees terms with IMT

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around PAOK people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market10 Jul 2028

Greg Taylor says no to IMT

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Greg Taylor had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Market10 Jul 2028

PAOK say no — this time

The offer from Panserraikos for Aboubakary Koita was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Too dear: PAOK walk away from Julián Chicco

$2.5M was the most the club would pay and Panathinaikos were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Market10 Jul 2028

Santino Andino wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad10 Jul 2028

PAOK lose Manolis Mitroglou

22 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

The dugout10 Jul 2028

When it matters, Kiril Despodov plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad10 Jul 2028

Ognjen Ugrešić has had enough of the bench

“I did not come here to warm up in front of people.” He is out of contract eventually, he is old enough to count the weeks, and PAOK will have to give him a reason to stay or an exit.

Match10 Jul 2028

PAOK have something to play for

Position 5 on 49 points, and the places that carry a European ticket are close enough to count. Seasons like this are decided by two results in April, and the club knows which two.

Market12 Jun 2028

Jonjoe Kenny says no to Kalamata

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Jonjoe Kenny had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Market12 Jun 2028

Karel Mustmaa has said yes to Kampaniakos

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. PAOK have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Transfer targets12 Jun 2028

PAOK make their move for Santino Andino

$6.3M on the table at Panathinaikos. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Giannis Kosti turns down PAOK

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Levadiakos keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Market12 Jun 2028

PAOK say no — this time

The offer from Botosani for Cyriel Dessers was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market12 Jun 2028

As if he never left: Karol Świderski returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Karol Świderski is a PAOK player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Frantzdy Pierrot due for a PAOK medical

Everything agreed with AEK, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Boardroom12 Jun 2028

Thanasis Papanikopoulos signs for Makedonikos while still at PAOK

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Thanasis Papanikopoulos has agreed terms with Makedonikos for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

PAOK baulk at the price for Nikos Christogeorgos

Volos NPS wanted more than $720.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.
