PAOK is ready to complete the transfer of 18-year-old Belarusian stopper Pavel Apatenok to strengthen its second team. Apatenok has expressed a preference to continue his career in Greece despite interest from Italian clubs. He will sign a four-year contract with PAOK. The club agrees to pay 350,000 euros and offer a 10% resale percentage to acquire him.

Pavel Apetenok, an 18-year-old Belarusian central defender currently playing for Dinamo Minsk, is set to join PAOK in the Greek league. Torino attempted to finalize the acquisition today but was beaten by the Greek team at the last moment. The transfer market in Greece remains open until September 12.
