Elustondo: "PAOK believed in me a lot"
Aritz Elustondo is a PAOK player, and he did not hide how much the move means. "PAOK really believed in me, and I have a lot of hunger to repay that trust on the pitch," the former Real Sociedad captain said in his first interview in black and white (2) (3). He added: "From now on, only black and white" (3). The centre-back arrives from La Real, where he wore the armband, and walks straight into Alessio Lisi's new project. The hunger in his words is unmistakable.
Taison renews with a 30–35% pay cut
Taison is staying. The Brazilian winger renewed his PAOK contract while accepting a 30–35% reduction in his wages (1). That is a veteran player betting on himself and the club, not chasing a final payday elsewhere. A core piece of the squad remains in place for Lisi's first season.
