PAOK is considering acquiring Gaëtan Laborde for its attack. The 32-year-old French striker currently plays for Al Diriyah in Saudi Arabia, for whom he scored 28 goals last season. Before moving to the Middle East, where he arrived in July 2025, Laborde spent his entire career in France, scoring 122 goals for clubs such as Bordeaux, Rennes, and Nice. While he primarily plays as a center forward, he is also capable of playing on both wings. Laborde's contract with Al Diriyah runs until 2028, but PAOK officials are attempting to terminate the agreement to sign him. He has 5 caps for the France U20 team, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €3.00m.
