APOEL resolves transfer ban as new signings join the squad

APOEL Nicosia has successfully resolved a transfer ban imposed by FIFA after settling outstanding financial obligations to player Youssef El-Arabi. This resolution allows the club to officially register their latest acquisitions, including goalkeeper Oliver Zelenika, defender Álvaro Carrillo, and Czech midfielder Antonín Barák. Additionally, the club has secured the signing of Greek national team captain Tasos Bakasetas to bolster their squad for the current season.

The administrative clearance significantly strengthens the team under the guidance of coach Nikos Papadopoulos. As a result, Antonín Barák was included in the squad for the upcoming match against AEL, while other new signings are expected to follow shortly. The club continues to manage its roster amid ongoing financial scrutiny, including potential investment interest from ECM Partners, which remains subject to UEFA approval.

Looking ahead, the team is focused on integrating these players to improve performance. The management hopes these reinforcements will stabilize the team's competitiveness in the league as they continue to navigate their complex financial and operational restructuring.
