APOEL spokesperson comments on transfer rumors regarding Filip Djuricic and Pedro Marques

On July 3, 2026, APOEL spokesperson Nektarios Petevinos addressed media reports linking the club to free agents Filip Djuricic and Pedro Marques. Regarding the Serbian midfielder Filip Djuricic, who recently departed Panathinaikos, the club maintained a cautious stance, noting that they do not comment on rumors and only discuss finalized signings. Media reports indicate that while Djuricic is under evaluation, his high previous salary of approximately one million euros poses a significant financial barrier. Simultaneously, Petevinos denied any active negotiations concerning Portuguese striker Pedro Marques. Marques, 28, left Apollon Limassol after a three-year stint due to financial disagreements. Despite the club's official denial, various reports suggest that the player is currently seeking to continue his career in Cyprus. The club emphasized that they will only confirm interest in players who have officially signed with the team.
