Apollon Limassol summer squad planning and European targets
Apollon Limassol has entered a critical stage of recruitment for the upcoming season, aiming to secure a place in the league phase of the UEFA Conference League. Head coach Hernan Losada, in collaboration with sports director Makis Papaioannou, is prioritizing reinforcements after the departures of players including Pedro Marques, Tomas Lam, and Zacharias Adonis. The club is actively seeking to add two new forwards to the squad, while also evaluating the status of Ali Youssef and Dani Escriche. In defense, the team is looking for a left-back, with Leonardo Koutris mentioned in some reports as a potential target, while Giorgos Malekkidis remains a primary option. Additionally, the club is in talks regarding the future of Praxitelis Vouros, whose contract has expired, to determine the number of central defenders needed alongside Jozef Kvinda. The club aims to return to European group stage football for the first time since the 2022-2023 season, requiring them to pass three qualifying rounds.
