Taha Ali nearing PAOK move as Rosengren and John react

Jul 16, 2026

Taha Ali is leaving Malmö FF for PAOK, and the dressing room is feeling it. Midfielder Otto Rosengren admitted the winger will be missed: "He's a friend. You don't just replace that overnight" (1). Teammate Noah John echoed the sentiment, speaking about the loss both on and off the pitch. Meanwhile, club legend Pontus Jansson offered warmer words, praising Ali's contribution during his time in sky blue (1). The winger is expected in Thessaloniki for a medical shortly.
