According to O Jogo, for a transfer of Braga's Vitor Carvalho to proceed, PAOK would need to meet a valuation close to the Portuguese club's demands or propose a deal structure involving bonuses, percentages, or a loan with a purchase obligation. The midfielder has a history of muscular injuries, which is a consideration for any interested club. There is competition for the player, with Torino, Al Shabab, Botafogo, and Atletico Mineiro also appearing as interested parties. Al Shabab reportedly made an offer, while Botafogo attempted to sign him on loan with a purchase option in a proposal that did not satisfy Braga.

According to O'Jogo, Vitor Carvalho is a priority for PAOK. Braga is asking for six million euros to approve the sale of the midfielder.

PAOK are the most recent club to request information on Vitor Carvalho, joining Atlético Mineiro, Al Shabab and other international sides whose interest was revealed two weeks ago. The 28-year-old Brazilian midfielder could leave Braga this summer, even though his contract is valid until 2028. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €4.00m. Based on available data, the most recent valuation from April 2026 suggests a price of €3-4 million. In February 2026, Braga rejected a loan offer from Botafogo that reportedly included a €2 million purchase option.
