Afimico Pululu rejects Pafos FC for Al-Hazem

Congolese forward Afimico Pululu has decided to join the Saudi Arabian club Al-Hazem, rejecting an offer from the Cypriot team Pafos FC. The player had traveled to Cyprus to hold direct negotiations with the club management. Despite the attempts by the current cup holders to finalize his transfer, the financial terms offered by the Saudi Pro League side proved to be the decisive factor. Reports indicate that Pululu will receive an annual salary of 3 million euros. Consequently, Pafos FC is now searching for alternative options to reinforce their attacking line. The development was confirmed on July 20, 2026, following the failed recruitment attempt. Pafos must now adjust its summer transfer planning.
