PAOK's new coach, Alessio Lisi, is interested in Levante's captain, Spanish midfielder Pablo Martínez. Lisi and the 28-year-old midfielder worked together at Levante during the 2021-22 season. PAOK is looking to strengthen its squad, particularly in left midfield, which is one of the positions Martínez can play. The player, who renewed his contract in 2023 for three more years, has also reportedly attracted interest from Celta, Sevilla, Elche, Getafe, and Osasuna, although no club has submitted a formal offer. It is uncertain whether Levante will propose a new contract to Martínez, and it is also not certain if PAOK will proceed with the transfer. In the 2025/2026 LaLiga season, Martínez made 27 appearances, scoring 1 goal and providing 5 assists. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €3.00m.
