Information from Italy indicates that Kalamata is strengthening its centre-back position with 21-year-old French-Ivorian Axel Guessan. Axel Guessan belongs to Pafos but is expected to leave the Cypriot team to join Kalamata. If Guessan's acquisition is completed in the coming days, it will fill one of the remaining gaps in Kalamata's roster. Guessan, who has been capped twice by France U18, joined Pafos in October 2025 and has a contract until May 2027. His current Transfermarkt valuation is €300k.
