Omonoia transfer updates and Champions League qualification preparations
Omonoia is preparing for the second qualifying round of the Champions League, where they will face the winner of the Kairat Almaty versus Sutjeska match. Kairat is currently leading the Kazakhstan league with 36 points after a 3-1 victory against Okzhetpes. Regarding squad changes, Omonoia is in advanced negotiations to sign Slovenian defender Zan Karnicnik, though no official signatures have been finalized yet. Reports regarding transfer interest in Belgian-Moroccan forward Ryan Mmaae have circulated, with some naming Al Ahli as a potential suitor, but Omonoia officials state that no official offers have been received for the player, who is under contract until 2027 with no buyout clause. The club remains focused on strengthening its defensive line and core squad to aim for the Champions League group stage. Additionally, the team has concluded its first training camp in Kyperounta and is transitioning to the main preparation phase in Kielce, Poland.
