Transfer: PAOK close in on Greek signing
PAOK are pushing hard to close a deal for a Greek player, with multiple outlets reporting the club is actively working to wrap it up (1) (4). The identity hasn't been officially confirmed, but the push is real and happening now (1) (4). Olympiacos are said to be watching nervously. They can't take another blow from PAOK in the transfer market, and they know it better than anyone (2).
Context: Pavlenka and Živković aren't the full picture
There's a broader point worth making. PAOK's recent arrivals, Pavlenka and Živković, are quality additions. But according to Gazzetta, they're not the whole answer on their own (3) (5). The Greek signing in the works is part of a bigger squad-building push, not a standalone move.
