Taha Ali signs until 2029, and the deal is official
PAOK confirmed the signing of Swedish winger Taha Ali on Monday (14/7), penning a contract through 2029 (2) (4) (5). The 25-year-old arrives from Malmö with the club wasting no time on the announcement, a slick arrival video accompanied the reveal (5).
Ali said it plainly: "I am grateful for every training session, every match, every failure and every success" (2).
The move gives Lisi another wide option as the squad reshape continues. Malmö sent him off with a public tribute, posting a farewell message after the deal was sealed (7). The Swedish side confirmed the sale with just over six months remaining on Ali's contract (6).
Sánchez heads for the exit
Jorge Sánchez is gone. The Mexican right-back has arrived at Atlas for a medical, and the transfer from PAOK will be announced once he passes (1). Another piece of the defensive line moves on, following Joan Sastre's expected switch to APOEL.
Fan-reaktioner
Malmö supporters on Reddit appear mostly resigned to the move. The thread on r/Allsvenskan carries a tone of grudging acceptance, Ali was on an expiring deal and a sale now makes sense for all sides. Read the discussion here.
