APOEL Nicosia monitors Antonin Barak

APOEL Nicosia is actively pursuing the transfer of 31-year-old Czech midfielder Antonin Barak. Barak is currently under contract with ACF Fiorentina until the summer of 2027, but he was excluded from the team's training camp roster today, suggesting he is no longer in the club's plans. APOEL's sporting director, Zisis Vryzas, is handling the negotiations to determine the feasibility of the transfer. The club prioritizes signing an attacking midfielder who can provide creativity and scoring ability to meet the requirements of manager Nikos Papadopoulos. While the transfer is considered difficult due to the player's profile and financial demands, APOEL management intends to explore all possibilities in the coming days. If the negotiations do not yield a positive outcome, the club is prepared to consider alternative candidates for the position. Meanwhile, Charles Appiah has officially transferred to the Bulgarian club Dunav Ruse.
