Three Bundesliga clubs, RB Leipzig, Hoffenheim, and Stuttgart, are reportedly monitoring PAOK's 23-year-old Greek international midfielder, Christos Zafeiris. His agency, THE TEAM, is said to have begun preliminary work in Germany in anticipation of the January transfer window. Germany is a country where the player is considered to have a good market. This interest is currently limited to monitoring, and no formal offers have been made. Zafeiris, whose contract with PAOK runs until 2029, may be exploring his options in a top league because of a transitional phase at his club. However, PAOK owner Savvidis is reportedly determined not to sell the player in January. This position is influenced by a desire to avoid another major player departure after a recent sale. It is believed that if Zafeiris were to pressure the club for a transfer, his request would not be granted. The midfielder joined PAOK in August 2025, has 17 caps for Greece, and has a current market value of €11.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
