Christos Zafeiris Transfer from Slavia Praha to PAOK

Christos Zafeiris transferred to PAOK Thessaloniki and is allowed to stay on loan at Slavia Prague until January 2026.

Slavia officially announced the transfer of Greek footballer Christos Zafeiris to PAOK Soluň. Zafeiris signed a contract with the new club until the end of 2029. Despite the transfer, he will continue to play for Slavia on loan until the end of the autumn season. The transfer deal was confirmed by Slavia's chairman Jaroslav Tvrdík on social media. The club will receive 12 million euros for the transfer, which is 10 million euros more than what they paid for the player when he joined from Norwegian club Haugesund in early 2023. Zafeiris himself requested the transfer to PAOK Soluň.

PAOK signed 22-year-old Chrīstos Zafeirīs from Slavia Prague for a total of 12 million euros, including 10 million euros upfront and 2 million euros in bonuses. This marks the most expensive transfer in Greece in 25 years. However, he will remain on loan in Prague until January.

Gazzetta.gr reports on Christos Zafeiris agreeing to terms with PAOK, paving the way for his transfer to the Thessaloniki team. Christos Zafeiris has agreed to all terms with PAOK and is expected to join the team from Thessaloniki starting January 1, barring any major surprises. Zafeiris is anticipated to arrive in Thessaloniki on Monday, August 25, at 15:45 via a private flight to complete formalities, be presented by the club, and sign a multi-year contract. This transfer is considered the largest in PAOK's history and one of the most expensive in Greek football.

PAOK, represented by businessman Ivan Savvidis, has made at least two official offers to Slavia Prague for Christos Zafeiris. The improved offer was reported to be 10.5 million euros as a base fee, with an additional 1.5 million euros in bonuses, and 20% of the profit from a future sale. However, Slavia Prague rejected both offers. Additionally, PAOK offered Zafeiris a lucrative contract of 1.6 million euros per season, which is about three times his current contract with Slavia.

Christos Zafeiris, a midfielder for Slavia Praha, has agreed to transfer to PAOK Soluň. Although the transfer fee is reportedly 300 million Czech koruna, Zafeiris will remain at Slavia Praha on loan until the winter. This agreement was reached after Slavia Praha initially rejected two offers from PAOK Soluň. The decision to keep Zafeiris for the autumn season allows him to participate in the Champions League with Slavia Praha before moving to Greece.

The president of Slavia Prague, Jaroslav Tvrdik, has declared that the club is willing to let Christos Zafeiris leave in January. PAOK has been informed of this decision, and they can sign the contract now if they are keen. Previously, proposals from PAOK were rejected as Slavia Prague could not find an adequate replacement for Zafeiris, especially before the Champions League. Zafeiris recently renewed his contract with Slavia Prague after deciding to stay and play in the Champions League.

Gazzetta.gr reports on PAOK's intensified efforts to acquire Christos Zafeiris from Slavia Prague. PAOK is intensifying its efforts to acquire the 22-year-old midfielder Christos Zafeiris from Slavia Prague. A proposal has been made with a total cost of 12 million euros. There is already a verbal agreement for a four-year contract, with annual earnings starting from 1.6 million euros and increasing with bonuses.

Gazzetta.gr provides an update on the transfer situation surrounding Christos Zafeiris and his potential move to PAOK. PAOK is persistent in acquiring Christos Zafeiris from Slavia Prague, and it seems their efforts will be rewarded.

Gazzetta.gr has reported on PAOK's ongoing efforts to sign Christos Zafeiris from Slavia Prague. Initially, PAOK proposed an offer of 8-9 million euros to Slavia Prague for Zafeiris, but this was turned down. The president of Slavia Prague indicated that there was an agreement not to sell Zafeiris during the current transfer window. Despite this setback, PAOK has persisted in discussions with the player and his family, who are keen on relocating to Greece. Zafeiris has shown interest in departing Prague, feeling that his stint there has come to an end. PAOK intends to make a revised offer that could meet or surpass 10 million euros. Additionally, Zafeiris's strong bond with Giannis Konstantelias is seen as a further incentive for the transfer. PAOK is prepared to offer Zafeiris a salary that is approximately three times his current earnings, which are around 450,000 euros per year at Slavia.

A Czech report from 'infotbal.cz' indicates that PAOK is not only interested in Greek midfielder Christos Zafeiris but has also made an official offer to Slavia Prague for his acquisition.

The Czech club holds Zafeiris in high regard, as evidenced by the recent extension of his contract until the summer of 2028. This season, the 22-year-old has already appeared in three league matches, starting each one, and has recorded a goal and an assist. Over his two seasons with Slavia Prague, Zafeiris has participated in 103 matches, netting 12 goals and providing 12 assists, underscoring his significance to the team. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value at €11.00m, a significant rise from the €2.50m Slavia Prague paid to acquire him from FK Haugesund in 2023. Besides PAOK, Olympiakos and Trabzonspor have also shown interest in the midfielder.
