Well known to the Greek public even if we only saw one in person for at least a season. Ezekiel Ponce And Temple of Puki This confirms the most emotional – and certainly easier – connection that exists to our places for anyone who either comes through here (successfully) or is discussed at least once (and usually not only) once, they are in the daily life of the reportage of the last few days .

Mainly as targets of the PAOK, but not only of the blacks and whites involved in the relevant scenario. First for Ponce. Elche is relegated, they can’t keep the Argentine in Segunda and he doesn’t want to stay either.

What about Ponce?

PAOK was searched. Elche’s claims are 4.5 million euros. Now, on the second day of June. It is not known if they will remain the same later in the summer but now they are unaffordable for PAOK who cannot spend a single euro to buy a soccer player. And so one limited oneself to the question of which discussion, which interest.

AEK did the same. Whether the champions will sign a striker this summer is uncertain. Even if so, it’s not certain what type of striker he will be. That is, if they’re looking for a classic “nine,” or someone more peripheral, someone whose traits complement Levi Garcia’s.

However, the same as last yearIn order to get first-hand information and data, the “yellow-blacks” asked about their former footballer’s side again this year. So that they know the context, if and when they need it, if and when Ponce is ready.

Even though he hasn’t had a good season in La Liga, just like last year he doesn’t give the Greek league top priority and that’s why at the moment he’s at least trying to stay in the league foam, without however making his demands prohibitive would be. He collected 1.2 million euros this year in Elche.

The financials for Puki

As for Pookie. The eau de cologne lasts for years. Both Panathinaikos and PAOK had seriously courted the Finnish striker before his move to Norwich. It is now clear that Thessalonians have him on their list, if only as an alternative choice of main target to fill the position of striker they are looking for next season.

Contacts with the 33-year-old Scandinavian take time. Direct. PAOK officials have access to information about Puki from his (former “black and white”) teammates in Norwich. Accordingly, the Finn has the opportunity to learn as much as he likes about PAOK, Thessaloniki and the Greek league – and he has.

On the financial side, Pucci’s demands are slightly higher than Nelson Oliveira’s earnings in the past season. They are between 1.2 and 1.3 million euros.

Within the framework of the first contact, PAOK has not put more than 1 million on the table, mainly because the main priority for strengthening the scrimmage is with someone else and not with Puki, who for his part is wanted in the market anyway, since – as rumored — and offer from MLS and Minnesota.

As expected, Ehsan Hajisafi has been called up to the Iran national team for the 2023 CAFA Nations Cup, which will be played in Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan from June 10-20.

The AEK left-back, an important and irreplaceable member of the Iran national team, will take part in another international tournament with his national team.

Besides Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Oman are participating in the CAFA Nations Cup.

After making official the appointment of Antonio Cordon as Olympiacos sporting director and defining the responsibilities of Cristian Karebé (club’s strategic advisor and ambassador) and José Añigo (academy director), the Red-Whites move to the next step in the settlement with a new coach.

The Spaniard has held relevant talks with Olympiakos management and developments are expected in the next 24 hours. The Piraeus team enters a four-day phase aimed at clarifying the situation in technical leadership, on the one hand because the objective is concrete and alternative solutions exist and on the other hand because the Spanish championship ends with this weekend.

As long as Cordon and the red-white PAE keep their cards closed, which is perfectly logical when trying to reach an agreement with a new coach, information on coaches that the 59-year-old has allegedly touched on keeps surfacing from Spain. such as z as well as about each of its employees at the Olympic Games.

As for the Iberia coaches, they claim Cordon has links with Anthony Iraola, who is leaving Rayo Vallecano, and Diego Martinez, who is free after leaving Espanyol two months ago.

Martinez worked with Cordon at Granada while the Spaniards believe Olympiacos’ new sporting director has two others in mind to work with. They are Javier Cayeja, who is on the bench at Levante, who are fighting for promotion to the first division, and Jordi Cruyff, who has given up the post of sporting director at Barcelona.

Cordon worked with Cayeja at Villarreal when the former was sporting director and the latter took his first coaching steps on the bench of the Yellow Submarine Under-19 side. Cayeja became Villarreal first-team coach after his compatriot left while he was also on the bench at Alaves. The 45-year-old coach has another year on his contract at Levante but the coaches change a lot from month to month.

Jordi Cruyff worked with Cordon at Chinese club Chongqing Lifan and in the Ecuador national team, with the Dutchman acting as coach. The 49-year-old has also worked as a coach at Maccabi Tel Aviv and Chinese club Shenzhen, but has worked as a sporting director at Barcelona for the past two years. He was sporting director at Maccabi Tel Aviv and before that at AEK Larnaca.

According to reports in Spain, Iraola could be one of the candidates if Mendiliber leaves the Seville bench. And Marthelino seems to be in the sights of Napoli and Marseille.
