Update on summer roster planning for APOEL, AEL, and Pafos FC
APOEL is restructuring its roster following a disappointing season, with coach Nikos Papadopoulos and sporting director Zisis Vryzas prioritizing new signings, including potential target Yury Lodygin. There is an urgent need for the club to strengthen its Cypriot core due to recent departures and injuries. Meanwhile, AEL Limassol is under a rebuilding phase led by coach Hugo Martins, aiming for double-digit new signings; they have already secured Tavares, Papageorgiou, and Kapino, while negotiations for Filipe Soares continue. Potential departures of Sergio Conceição and Luther Singh could further influence their transfer budget and activity. Pafos FC, under coach Ricardo Sa Pinto, is focusing on depth and quality after a challenging season, with ongoing discussions surrounding potential targets like Giorgos Angelopoulos. All three clubs are working methodically to avoid repeating the failures of the previous year.
