Foreign reports state that Qarabag's Brazilian midfielder, Pedro Bicailo, is the main transfer target for AEK to strengthen their midfield. According to leaked information, people at AEK have focused on the 24-year-old since last summer. The club's scouting department has compiled a full report on the player after monitoring his performances in both the Azerbaijan league and European competitions. Sources from abroad state that AEK's interest is concrete. The Serbian coach has reportedly approved his acquisition, and the plan is to submit an official proposal immediately after the end of the current season. AEK wants to act quickly to gain an advantage over competing clubs, as other European clubs are also considering Pedro Bicailo. The prospect of joining AEK and playing at the OPAP Arena seems to particularly attract him. While AEK is currently not making public statements, the Brazilian's name is reportedly a high priority for the summer midfield restructuring.

AEK Athens is searching for a midfielder to reinforce its squad and has been linked with Qarabag's Pedro Bicalho, 24. The Greek club is expected to submit an offer for the Brazilian, who joined the Azerbaijani side on a free transfer from Palmeiras last summer. AEK has been monitoring the player for the past six months. However, other information indicates that Bicalho is not on the list of midfielders currently being considered by AEK. Bicalho's contract runs until June 2028 and his market value is €1.50m, according to Transfermarkt. In the 2025/2026 Premyer Liqa season, he has made 15 appearances and provided 2 assists. Brazilian club Botafogo has also been linked with the player.
