Carvalho transfer talk — and AEK are already in Thessaloniki

Vitor Carvalho: PAOK are in the picture

PAOK are among the clubs interested in Braga midfielder Vitor Carvalho, according to journalist Rudy Galetti (1) (5). Carvalho is under contract at Braga until 2028, so this won't be cheap or straightforward (1) (8). Multiple Greek outlets have picked up the story, though nothing concrete has been confirmed yet (2) (8) (9).

He's a combative central midfielder, exactly the profile PAOK tend to target. Worth watching as the window approaches.
