Pafos FC shows interest in Sturm Graz forward Maurice Malone

Pafos FC has expressed strong interest in acquiring 25-year-old German-American forward Maurice Malone, according to reports from the Austrian newspaper Krone. Malone, who is currently under contract with Sturm Graz until the summer of 2027, has been informed that he is no longer part of the team's future plans and is free to seek a transfer.

Malone, a 1.87-meter tall left-footed striker, has had a varied career, having previously played for Augsburg, Heidenheim, Wolfsberger, Basel, and Austria Wien. His most productive season took place in 2024-2025, when he recorded 12 goals in 38 appearances for Austria Wien. Last season, he struggled to find his form at Sturm Graz, netting four goals in 39 matches. Throughout his career, his combined transfer fees have reached 5,500,000 euros.

As the player searches for a new club, Pafos FC is actively monitoring the situation. While no deal has been finalized yet, sources indicate that further developments regarding a potential move to the Cypriot club could occur in the near future as the parties assess the transfer terms.
