According to Sport FM, AEK has decided to release Hakim Sahabo, and the priority is to find a club that will offer the player substantial playing time. Interested parties have emerged, but as of now, no situation has resulted in a final agreement.

According to Africafoot, Hakim Sahabo is a target for APOEL Nicosia. The Cypriot club has already begun negotiations with AEK Athens to sign him on loan.

Sahabo may also join a Greek team.

AEK is seeking a team for Hakim Sahabo, a 21-year-old Rwandan-Belgian midfielder, to join on loan. The purpose of the loan is for him to gain regular playing time and return better prepared. The decision for his temporary departure is also connected to changes in the midfield, which include the signing of Lovro Majer and the imminent addition of another midfielder with different characteristics. This significantly limits the available space for Sahabo in the rotation. AEK does not wish to send Sahabo on a loan just to free up a roster spot; the club is looking for a team that matches his playing profile, will consider him for a starting role, and will offer him many appearances. Sahabo, who has 11 caps and one goal for Rwanda, has been informed of AEK's plan. Both parties are jointly reviewing available options, aiming to find the best possible solution for his development. He joined AEK in February 2026, and his contract runs until June 2029. His market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €1.50m.
