Vangelis Pavlidis is the subject of interest from clubs including Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, AC Milan, and AS Roma, though a formal offer has not yet been made. His current club, Benfica, is open to negotiating his contract but would want a higher fee than the eighteen million euros they paid AZ for him last season. Reports from May 2026 state that Benfica is willing to negotiate for around €50 million and that his contract includes a release clause of €100 million.
