PAOK has shown interest in Steve Mounié, a 30-year-old striker from Benin who is currently with Augsburg in Germany. Mounié had previously attracted PAOK's attention last year during his tenure at Brest in France, where he managed to score 7 goals and provided 3 assists in the league. Although he is under contract with Augsburg until 2027, he seems to be out of favor, as indicated by his 11 appearances this season without finding the back of the net. The transfer is deemed challenging unless Ali Samatta departs from PAOK, which would create a vacancy for Mounié.
