Galatasaray submits transfer proposal for PAOK midfielder Giannis Konstantelias
Turkish club Galatasaray has submitted an official proposal to PAOK Thessaloniki regarding the transfer of 23-year-old Greek midfielder Giannis Konstantelias. Reports indicate the offer is for a loan deal with a purchase option to be exercised next summer, though specific financial terms have not been disclosed. PAOK management is currently evaluating the proposal, and no formal response has been issued by the Greek club yet.
In separate developments, PAOK is preparing for the crucial UEFA Europa League qualification return leg against Anderlecht on August 13 at the Constant Vanden Stock Stadium in Brussels. The Greek team is dealing with significant roster absences following their 1-0 first-leg loss at home. Specifically, Pantelis Hatzidiakos is suspended due to yellow card accumulation, joining Kiril Despodov, Soualiho Meite, Giannis Sarris, and Fedor Chalov on the list of unavailable players for coach Alessio Lisci.
