According to information from Cyprus, 37-year-old Greek goalkeeper Alexandros Paschalakis was close to an agreement with Paphos, but it appears the deal was not completed. Paphos reportedly denied this scenario, suggesting the situation did not have the outcome that initially seemed likely. The experienced goalkeeper had also attracted interest from APOEL, although the Cypriot club now has five goalkeepers, which limits the possibility of a move. Aris had also been a possibility but has since acquired Ricardo Velho for the starting role. It is rumored that a Big 4 team might still consider Paschalakis for a depth position on their roster. Paschalakis, who has 5 caps for Greece, has been without a club since July 2026 and has a current market value of €300k, according to Transfermarkt.
