Pavel Apetenok was a target for Torino, who attempted to complete his transfer today. However, the deal did not materialize as PAOK managed to sign him instead. The Serie A club was unable to finalize the acquisition before the Greek side. Apetenok, an 18-year-old Belarusian central defender from Dinamo Minsk, is now set to play in the Greek league with PAOK Thessaloniki. Despite Torino's efforts to secure the signing today, they were ultimately outpaced by PAOK at the last moment. It is noteworthy that the transfer window in Greece remains open until September 12, giving PAOK a longer period to finalize such deals.
