Konstantinos Laifis signs contract extension with APOEL FC
On June 15, 2026, APOEL FC officially announced that 33-year-old defender Konstantinos Laifis has signed a contract extension until 2029, with a potential option to remain until 2030. This decision follows significant interest from AEK Larnaca, who reportedly offered a three-year contract and a financial package of 400,000 euros to secure his services. Despite the pressure, Laifis chose to remain at APOEL, where he has been a consistent performer over the last two years, recording 75 appearances and 10 goals. APOEL officials confirmed the deal by releasing video footage of the signing ceremony. Meanwhile, AEK Larnaca continues its transfer planning, currently seeking a new head coach and addressing roster gaps, including the potential departures of players like Danny Henriques and Kevin Komar. Separately, AEK Limassol is in advanced talks with defender Kypros Neofytou for an early contract renewal to solidify their back line.
