AEK Larnaca prepares for the new season with major roster changes

AEK Larnaca has begun its transition period for the upcoming season, officially confirming the departures of Garcia and Roberge. The club expects further exits, including Alomerovic, Roden, Suarez, and Komar, while decisions on renewals are pending. Sporting director Xavi Roca aims to strengthen all lines of the team, with primary goals including a new starting goalkeeper and a central defender to replace Roberge. Negotiations are underway for a replacement for Roden, specifically focusing on Ivan Pankov, and potential reinforcements are planned for the attacking wings and the forward line to improve depth alongside Andereggen and Bajic. While some reports suggest a strategic rebuilding process, other sources emphasize that the club is moving methodically without time pressure, utilizing the expertise of Javier Ribalta. Pre-season training is scheduled to begin on July 6, with official matches set to commence in mid-August. Management maintains that no advanced agreements are finalized as they prioritize quality over speed.
