The three July transfers that will become four on Saturday (13/07), the “closed” Musa Odubajo, the “bombshell” Erik Lamela, the difficulties in the Joaquin Correa case and the “freezing” of negotiations with Oriel Aduana.
For about two weeks, AEK has been putting its engines forward in the transport planning, or if you prefer, has been “buckle-buckling” for the boost field.
There has already been a big upgrade in the goalkeeper position, with Alberto Brignoli and Thomas Strakossa replacing Tsitsane Stankovic and Giorgos Athanasiadis.
As of Friday afternoon (12/07), Roberto Pereira is a player of the Union, which includes a much improved version of Sergio Araujo.
A player who will give him the required strength in pressing, without of course deviating from his creative and offensive qualities, which have allowed him to compete in two of the best leagues in the world (the Premier League and the Italian League) for 13 years.
Look, the upgrade is on the left.
Copy “Touko” followed by Look at Abu BakrWith the Moroccan winger, who holds a Belgian passport, in Greece since Thursday (11/07) and expected – barring a shocking possibility – to be announced during Saturday (13/07).
This is the footballer who theoretically becomes the first choice on the left wing of the “yellow and black” attack and gives Matias Almeida’s team what Mijat Gacinovic failed to do in his modest season last year.
That is, his unpredictability, his personal energy, carrying the ball, accuracy in shooting from outside the area and scoring (he finished the 2023/24 season with 15 goals), which was missing in many matches this year. Eek.
After all, it is no coincidence that the 25-year-old midfielder had an “explosion” last season, developing under the guidance of Thorsten Think into one of the best players in the Belgian league.
From starting right back to Rota’s replacement
It has been proven that the Union executives in this summer market have been looking a lot to upgrade the right side of the defense. Two of the cases they have looked at and not advanced are Rick Karsdorp and Youcef Atal “El Malhan”.
Players with the profile and performances of the Dutchman and the Algerian will be persuaded to come to Greece on the condition of “wearing your home jersey”, although during the two years that “Pelados” has been on the bench at Dikefalos, he has not been seen at any time with this condition applied.
The 29-year-old Roma defender and the former Nice defender appear to agree. Moses Odubajo. A change in faces, but also in plan, as politics now presents Lazarus Rota as the favorite to start the new season.
Yes, the Nigerian right-back for Aris is an upgrade, if we focus on the security that Almeida will provide by using him, so that Orbelin Pineda, if he stays, will also be exempted from competing for part or all of the match as a starter. The full-back. As for the rest, we are roasting in the grass.
Lamela’s “Bomb” and “Bread” Explosion in Korea
After the hot first fifteen days of July, the rest of the month is expected to be even hotter. Firstly, because AEK will enter the battle for European presence in the league stage of the Conference League, starting on July 24 against the winner of Velez Mostar – Inter de Escaldes.
Second, because the two-headed man is waiting for the happy ending to his case. Erik LamelaThe directors of the Union made a very tempting offer of around 2,500,000 euros per year for a contract until 2027, and the Argentine’s answer was “si” according to the journalist. Uriel Locht.
At the moment, PAE has not taken an official position, but there is moderate optimism about a positive outcome for the most expensive transfer in the team’s history.
The next case for him Uriel AdonaWhich seems to be collapsing at the moment,At least according to a report from Mexico.
The publication in question indicates that negotiations between the federation and Cruz Azul have stalled, as in addition to Lamela’s ‘yes’, there were also differences in the payment terms of 4-4.5 million euros that were agreed between the two clubs.
The third and most difficult case seems to be his case. Joaquin Correaa player who is set to be Ezequiel Ponce’s replacement, at least numerically, as the 29-year-old striker comes in to take a starting spot from Levi Garcia.
Inter want to get as much as possible from the 29-year-old striker, for whom they took out €27 million from Lazio in the summer of 2022.
How do you translate the phrase “as much as possible”? According to the reports, Nerazzurri demand €8,000,000 For a footballer they want to get rid of, he’s only been at the club for two years and he’s in the last year of his contract.
Almeida personally spoke to Correa, analyzed his plan for exploitation, and all that remains is to convince him that Greece is not a setback in his career, but a step back to “gouge out his eyes” and take two steps forward again.
So Latin America holds the keys to its aggressive takeoff. Eek. Different situations that the union can start with, first in the competitive aspect and then in the communicative aspect.
