Christos Zafeiris Transfer from Slavia Praha to PAOK

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. The transfer cost is expected to exceed 10 million Euros, considering the bonuses and the player's salary. Zafeiris was reportedly interested in playing in Greece despite the financial challenges.

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. Despite this, Slavia Prague turned down the 9 million euro offer immediately. 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.
