PAOK nears signing of William Mikelbrencis from Hamburg

PAOK Thessaloniki is in advanced negotiations to sign 22-year-old French right-back William Mikelbrencis. The player recently became a free agent following a four-year tenure with the German club Hamburg, where he recorded 68 appearances and provided six assists. The move aims to strengthen PAOK’s defensive line by providing cover for Jonjoe Kenny on the right side. Sources indicate that talks are in the final stages, with medical examinations and the signing of the contract expected to follow shortly.

Parallel to this transfer development, PAOK is preparing for a crucial second-leg match against Dynamo Kyiv in the Europa League qualifiers, scheduled for tonight at 20:45 at the Toumba Stadium. The Greek side holds a 3-2 lead from the first leg and aims to secure progression to the third qualifying round. While the club remains focused on this European fixture under coach Alessio Lisci, the administrative team continues to work on finalizing the Mikelbrencis transfer, with an official announcement anticipated in the coming hours.
