Koulouris return on the table
PAOK are thinking about bringing Efthymis Koulouris back. The 30-year-old striker is a free agent after leaving Al-Ola, and his name is on the table as the club looks to strengthen the attack (1). He has been in Turkey training with Pogon, but the chance to return to a club he knows is real. No deal yet, just talks.
Greeks Abroad
Dimitrios Giannoulis is coming back. PAOK are finalising the left-back's return from Augsburg, an eight-figure move that will likely push Greg Taylor out the door to Celtic. New signing Tom Luce is already in training and sounded genuinely excited: the midfielder called it a move he could not turn down.
Dedas joins the backroom staff
Former Oostende head coach Georgios Dedas has joined the PAOK technical staff (2). The Greek coach is one of several off-pitch moves as the club restructures, a new head of Strength & Conditioning has also been appointed for the development programme.

Zivkovic doubt for Anderlecht
Captain Andrija Zivkovic is a concern. He picked up a knock and is doubtful for the Europa Conference League third qualifying round tie against Anderlecht. No final word yet, but losing your captain for a European qualifier is the last thing you want.
What's next
Anderlecht in Europe first, then the league opener against Levadiakos on Sunday August 23. That is the match that counts. Three points and a clean start.
Fan-reaktioner
Even from Kurdistan, the love finds a way. One fan on r/PAOK posted about following the club without streams, just news and highlights, playing as PAOK on FC 26 to feel closer. The thread is a reminder that this club pulls people in from everywhere.
