The APOEL administration went on the attack, mainly to strengthen the attacking line but also the midfield.

Vladan Milojevic has, for some time, made his demands clear and received assurances from the team’s leadership that he will do everything possible to add to the squad the transfer targets selected by the Serbian coach.

Tomane will soon be in Cyprus

Efforts to acquire Portuguese center forward Antonio Tomane are well on their way. There is an agreement with the 30-year-old striker who has undertaken to secure his release from Samsunspor, with whom he is under contract until next summer.

Tomane assured the “blue and yellow” that within the week he will secure his International Transfer Certificate and come to our island to complete his transfer. The Turkish team owes him an amount close to 300 thousand euros and the Portuguese forward will give them half to be free.

Very good odds for Ben too

In the meantime, the contacts of the leadership of APOEL continue with the management of Red Star regarding the case of the experienced Mohamed Ben. An important role in the positive outcome of this case for APOEL is the desire of the 33-year-old French winger to work again with Vladan Milojevic, the coach who helped him reach the peak of his great career.

The case of Mandalus is extremely difficult

The case of Petros Mandalos is much more difficult. The captain of AEK has an annual salary close to 800 thousand euros and it will require a very large amount from APOEL to take him on loan until the end of this season covering a percentage of his contract.

However, the Greek international midfielder sees very positively the possibility of a new collaboration with Mr. Milojevic, with whom they had an excellent collaboration. Mandalos is keen to continue at a team that is in the manager’s top picks, and that element may help seal a deal.

It is also noted that colleagues in Greece, who edit the report of AEK, emphasize that the Greek midfielder is very important for the plan of his coach, Matias Almeida.

The… Yogic perspective

At noon (10/1) the publication from a Serbian website appeared that APOEL is interested in Milos Jogic, who was released from Partizan last July.

The 30-year-old Serbian played for Dortmund, Cologne and Basaksehir among others, as well as for the Serbian national team. His natural position is central midfielder but he can provide solutions both as a defensive midfielder and as a ten.

This case seems to be easier since despite the excellent reputation that Yogić has, he is free to choose his new team and does not need the consent of the club.
