Aris is still pursuing Steven Zuber, but has not received a response from him yet. Manolo Jimenez has publicly stated he wants Steven Zuber to be acquired.

The Spanish coach at Aris wants 34-year-old Swiss international Steven Zuber, viewing him as a player with championship qualities, competitive rhythm, and no need for adaptation to the Greek league. The coach, who rarely speaks openly about transfers, expressed his desire in statements after a cup match against Atromitos, describing the player he wanted without explicitly naming him. He is also aware that the club may not have the financial capacity to sign players immediately. Ruben Reyes will attempt to finalize deals for a center-back and a left-back this week, and the club is also considering other players besides Zuber for the attacking midfielder position. Zuber is a free agent, having become available on January 1, 2026. He has 56 caps and 11 goals for Switzerland, and his market value is €800k, according to Transfermarkt. Kifisia has also been linked with the player.
