The Brazilian club Atlético Mineiro has presented a €5.5 million offer to the Mexican club Cruz Azul to purchase striker Giorgos Giakoumakis. This comes amid speculation about the 31-year-old Greek international's future, which had previously included rumored interest from Real Oviedo. Giakoumakis, who is on loan at PAOK, is considering the possibility of playing in Brazil. Should he agree to the transfer, the termination of his loan is expected before the sale is finalized. Giakoumakis has 22 caps and 4 goals for Greece and has scored 5 goals with 1 assist in 13 league appearances for PAOK this season. Cruz Azul acquired the striker for a €9.3 million fee in July 2024. In December 2025, the club reportedly set an asking price of approximately €9.5 million. His current loan includes a non-mandatory purchase option valued between €4.5 million and €5 million.
