Aris are seriously considering Paolo Fernandes, who played this season on loan from AEK at Al-Khaleej. Fernandes is under contract with AEK until the summer of 2027. Marco Nikolic had already evaluated last year that the Spanish winger does not fit into his plans, which makes his departure possible. Aris believe that a suitable agreement can be reached with AEK for Fernandes to move to Thessaloniki and become one of the main attacking options for Grigoriou's new team.

It is reported that Paolo Fernandes is one of the players AEK is offering in a potential exchange deal for Moses Odubajo. Vasilis Chatzinakos, the head of 'Marmita-sports', commented on Fernandes' qualities and his suitability for Aris.

Aris is closely monitoring Paolo Fernandes' situation and is interested in acquiring him if he is removed from Matias Almeyda's tactical plans at AEK.
