Giannoulis pushes Augsburg to say yes
On the football side, PAOK are working on Dimitris Giannoulis. The left-back wants the move and is pressuring Augsburg to let him go, but the German club has not yet given the green light (1).
Giannoulis knows the league, knows the club. He came through the PAOK academy. A return would fix a problem position with a player who needs no introduction.
A club in transition
The football squad is being rebuilt. Jorge Sánchez is off to Atlas, Joan Sastre is heading to APOEL, and Giorgos Giakoumakis has left after his loan ended. Baptiste Santamaría has already signed until 2027, and Taha Ali is in the city finalizing his move.
Alessio LiSi has a lot of new pieces to fit together. Konstantelias remains the one constant, the manager reportedly does not even need to take notes on him.
