Derrick Luckassen reportedly considering departure from Crvena Zvezda

Ghanaian international defender Derrick Luckassen is reportedly seeking an exit from Serbian club Crvena Zvezda during the upcoming January transfer window. The 31-year-old has struggled for playing time under manager Riera, recording only 10 appearances since joining the team this past summer on a three-year contract worth €700,000 annually.

Reports indicate that Pafos FC is preparing a significant effort to facilitate his return to the Cypriot league. Having played in Cyprus previously, the defender is viewed as a priority target for the Pafos management under Sergei Lomakin. While the player’s current high salary in Belgrade poses a financial challenge for a potential transfer, sources suggest that either a loan arrangement or a mutual contract termination could provide a solution for his departure. The situation remains fluid as both the club and the player weigh their options for the winter market.
