PAOK has shown interest in signing Mirko Topic from Famalicao in an effort to bolster their midfield. Reports from Pedro Morais in Portugal indicate that PAOK has already made an offer, which Famalicao promptly rejected. Mirko Topic is seen as a crucial player for Famalicao, having participated in all but one league game this season. At present, it appears difficult for PAOK to persuade Famalicao to release him during this transfer window. The 23-year-old defensive midfielder has been vital to Famalicao's campaign, playing in 16 out of 17 full league matches, only missing a cup game against Santa Clara. PAOK's search for a defensive midfielder began after they acquired Sergio Pena for their attack, as they quietly looked for a player to fill the number 6 role and offer additional options for coach Razvan Lucescu. However, the current circumstances do not seem favorable for PAOK, posing challenges in securing the club's agreement for his transfer in this window.
