Ruben Kluivert, a 24-year-old Dutch centre-back from Lyon, is again a player of interest for PAOK and is on a shortlist of targets the club is considering. During the previous summer, Kluivert had also been of interest to the club and to Lens. His inclusion on the list, along with other potential signings, does not signify that the process is at an advanced stage, as PAOK is carefully assessing all available options. Kluivert, who joined Lyon in July 2025, is under contract until June 2030. He has made 6 appearances and provided 1 assist in Ligue 1 this season. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €2.50m.
