This interest is certainly honorable, but I am completely focused on PAOK. I feel comfortable in the team and my decisions always have to do with the best interests of my family. Certainly after the end of the season there will be discussions and reflection on what is best for all involved. PAOK is always my first choice».
Regarding this year’s course of PAOK, he commented: “Of course we were hoping for more. The goal was to get one of the first two places and secure a ticket for the Champions League qualifiers.
