APOEL status update on Daniel Mancini and Aris Thessaloniki interest

As of June 17, 2026, APOEL has informed 29-year-old winger Daniel Mancini that his current contract faces termination due to high financial costs. The club triggered a contractual clause to either dissolve the agreement or renegotiate it with significantly lower wages, as part of a broader effort to reduce expenditures. During his time at APOEL, following his January arrival, Mancini recorded 19 appearances, three goals, and three assists. While some reports suggested his departure is finalized, others indicate the possibility of staying if he accepts salary adjustments. Meanwhile, Aris Thessaloniki is reportedly monitoring the situation closely, considering a move for their former player. The Greek side values Mancini's prior experience with their team and his familiarity with the Greek league. Negotiations between APOEL and the player remain fluid as both parties assess future options.
