Jul 10, 2026

Taha Ali to PAOK, deal nearly done

Taha Ali is leaving. PAOK have agreed personal terms with the winger and the Greek club have already listed him on their official website (1) (2). The fee is reported at around €2m (2). Ali could be given a farewell at the IFK Göteborg match, which also marks Gaute Helstrup's first game in charge (2).

Haksabanovic ready to lead the rebuild

Sead Haksabanovic wants to step up. The 27-year-old is under contract until 2028 and has signaled he wants a leadership role as Helstrup reshapes the squad (3). With Ali heading out and the new coach watching from the stands last match, Haksabanovic's timing is deliberate.
