Reports from Cypriot sports outlets are reporting that AIK in Sweden have now gone back to Apollon with a 900k euro offer, with a 10-15% sell-on clause.
That's a lot closer to that 1million euro evaluation that Apollon were mooted to be looking for.
Let's see...
Kerkida is now reporting that Hacken's late late late bid for Pittas came in too late, with the player and Apollon promising already that AIK's bid would be the only one accepted.
2 and a half year contact agreed and Pittas flies out from Slovakia tonight
Check out the facial hair on this guy.
Paralimni have announced the signing of Belgian/Ghanaian forward Elisha Sam.
Sam has been in the Lierske and Standard Liege youth teams, Hapoels Acre and Nazareth Illit, FC Eindhoven, Arda Kardzhali, Notts County and Patro Eisden
Ο ΑΠΟΕΛ εκφράζει τα θερμά του συλλυπητήρια προς την οικογένεια και τους οικείους του κ. Ντίνου Ιορδάνου που απεβίωσε σήμερα μετά από καρδιακό επεισόδιο. Είμαστε όλοι συγκλονισμένοι από το τραγικό αυτό γεγονός. Καλό παράδεισο κ. Ντίνο….

We got a blockbuster rumour coming out of Cyprus...
Henning Berg is after another Cypriot for AIK. This time, AIK are going to go for Marinos Tzionis on loan.
That Tzionis/Pittas link-up... Berg about to show Ketsbaia how you set up a Cypriot attack!
SuperSportFM are reporting that Jefte Vital has stopped showing up to training.
No deal has been agreed yet between Fluminense and Rangers, or between Fluminense and APOEL, or rangers and APOEL.
If true, this is the 2nd player to do this, this transfer window.
@ThisIsMappa
Kerkida finally put something about the compensation APOEL would require as part of the deal thus morning.
You know, like what we said what... 2 days ago?
Keep up, lads!
5-2! AIonanis Pittas rundar målvakten och gör 5-2 för AIK!

The Cyprus FA app is a special thing...
The photos of the players, if their FA registration picture is not updated, they just chuck in whatever picture they have.
So here is an image of Karmiotissa’s last substitution vs Aris tonight. Those are shirt numbers, not ages.
Kandet Diawara.
Released from APOEL, signed to Le Havre in Ligue 1.
I just don't understand what APOEL's problem is with giving youth a chance. Instead signing a 32 year old player shorter than me, which will be his third club in a year.
I've been sat on this story for a week, waiting for some kind of ending to Season 3 of WardaVision... but it's not happening and news is leaking out.
So here's a little dive into the cesspool that is Amr Warda's life right now.
Here's a big transfer coming through. Quite a few details on it as well.
AEK going big for Daniel Escriche of Albacete.
The 26 year old forward has 21 goals and 19 assists in 218 games, mostly in Spain's 2nd tier.
💣🇨🇾EXCLUSIVE: The player Daniel Escriche of Albacete Balompié is very close to signing for AEK LARNACA of Cyprus, the forward signs for 3 years for 300K. € per season, the Cypriot team will pay 700K. € and he will undergo medical tests on July 4 at the Saint Rafael Hospital.🔜
AEK and Xavi Roca not wasting any time, with a new head coach coming in.
Spanish (of course) coach Juan Ferrando takes over from Ran Ben Shimon.
As a coach he has had stints at Ergotelis & Volos 🇬🇷, CyD Leonesa & Linares 🇪🇸, FC Goa and ATK Mahun Bagan 🇮🇳

Presented at Kolossi Castle, a fortification built by Richard the Lionheart.
Anagenisi Derynias just got promoted back into the Second Division in Cyprus and have just announced a pretty big deal in Cypriot football as their new head coach.
What a poor 2nd half performance.
Tejera and Quintilla absolutely useless. Susic kept losing his man.
Meyer was a bright spark, as was Cipriano.
Work is needed this week.

The 28 year old Cypriot forward has been at Ethnikos, AEL, Alki and APOEL.

Pittas has not taken part in the latest friendlies.
Something that happened a couple of days ago...
@ntumba_massanka
signed for Digenis Morphou.
Massanka was in the Man City and Burnley youth teams and turned out for York, Morecambe, Wrexham as well as a ...few others.
Plenty of National League and League 2 apps.
Nice.
@SyriEasway
Based on the match last weekend, Pafos win. Hiwever, I suspect Omonia have been scared straight and they are very experienced in the cup final compared to Pafos.
If Omonia have learned their lesson, 2-1 to Omonia. But if they haven't, 3-1 Pafos.
It's being reported across different platforms that Kostadinov I signing a new 1+1 year contract with APOEL.
Fantastic news for the club.
Tie. Him. Down.
Anagenisi Derynias just got promoted back into the Second Division in Cyprus and have just announced a pretty big deal in Cypriot football as their new head coach.
The Othellos press representative Panayiotis Koukoutsikas confirmed that Duris has an offer from Spartak Trnava:
"There is no news. There was a proposal to leave the player to go to Spartak Trnava. The point is that Othello has not consented. There are some processes and if...
AEL have announced the signing of Fedor Černych before completing the medical for the player.
Černych is a forward who has played internationally for Lithuania, playing for teams in Belarus, Russia and Poland, and on average banging in a goal every 6 games.

Carcedo, as Assistant Manager to Unai Emery at all his clubs up to Arsenal has a few titles and cups under his belt.
Away from Emery, he was at Ibiza for 16 months and 4 months at Zaragoza
Othellos announce another signing. This time it's Antxon Jaso.

The Basque defender has 110 appearances.

All fun and games and everything, but I need
@SIgames
to start making the Cyprus Leagues available in Football Manager without having to wait for someone to bodge together something in the Editor.
Respect the 21st league in the UEFA coefficients!
Open to all APOEL fans, a question from me.
Do you trust Petrides with your 20 euros, for it to go to the salary of the players as he's saying?
I'm not giving him 20 euros, regardless.
Pafos reminding their fans on how to obtain the fan card over on Instagram.
Remember, it's very important to upload your photo and verifu vour identitu
Enzo Cabrera extends his stay in Cyprus by signing for AEK for 3 years.

Fantastic news! Despite the financial issues in the background, these players that have been foundational for the team (and Christodoulou) are staying until the end of next season at APOEL!

@SikeNqobakonke
Yeah bro, u got the football knowledge 🤡🤡🤡
Georgia's gk is better
Canada's defense are from Celtic, Colorado Rapis, Malmo and Bayern
Georgia's defense are from Apoel, Bratislava and Al Ahkdoud or wtv
Boo fucking hoo.
I have complained many times about how Petrides runs APOEL.
But Sa Pinto leaves every club he's been in charge of, in bad blood, complaining about everyone around him and he is an angel who doesn't do anything wrong.
Sa Pinto has opened up about his time at APOEL, with some very interesting comments:
"Without a doubt, it was the most difficult title winning season in the history of APOEL. When you have an upper management that makes promises it doesn't keep, it's not easy to manage a team..
The Cypriot First Division is about to start this weekend.
What better way to celebrate than to get my predictions rushed out in the middle of night when no one will read them?
In the meantime, prior to all these works going ahead, Pafos FC is also bankrolling the redevelopment of an old, knackered, broken-down athletics ground called the Iakovion...
4/4 through to the 3rd Qualifying rounds.
Cyprus is fucking massive.
APOEL get a 2-1 win in Serbia vs Vojvodina to finish off another week of European football, along with the 4-1 in Nicosia for Omonia vs Gabala!
Thanks to
@MLoukatzie
for pointing me towards this...
Some weird-ass news coming out of the 2nd Division.
On 8th January, Enosis Neon Paralimniou announced that new investment was being brought in by Panos Fasouliotis.
Well, today, Cyprus Police issued a Wanted Person...
As always, conspiracy theories abound.
This time, the fans that invaded the pitch on both sides and threw the flares and firecrackers were actually APOEL fans to get both the Limassol teams kicked out of the competition so APOEL can go through.
I have seen at few posts on FB...
APOEL announce the signing of 22 year old Romanian attacking midfielder Marius Corbu.
Corbu has just finished up 4 seasons at Puskas AFC in Hungary, where he played 129 games scoring 12 and assisting 13 goals.
Not going to lie... this has been a fantastic transfer window!
🇨🇾 national team first 11 announced and because Ketsbaia refuses to pick Sergiou, we have a right back with no club playing.
Debut for Malekkides, which makes sense, he's one of the very few players that has had a good season at Apollon.
You know who hasn't? Spoljaric.
Pittas waving that flag 🇨🇾 🇨🇾 🇨🇾 for AIK
Kalmar keeper needs to do better though.
@ThisIsMappa
better than Kerkida, official. Look what quality video they posted on their site. Unbelievable.
Cypriot refereee Chrysovalantis Theouli will referee the Italy v Bosnia game. Will Theouli's fan go to the game as well?
There's a guy who goes to the Pafos FC games that Theouli is involved with and holds up a banner asking for his shirt.
SuperSport FM are saying Stelios Andreou is leaving Charleroi, with 4 teams interested:
Torino
Venezia
Maccabi Tel Aviv
Plymouth
There's a 2.5 million euro price on his head.
He has played 91 games for the Belgian team, who bought him for 200k in 2021.
Bargain.
There's Dimitris Theodorou signing for Anorthosis following his release from APOEL.
Good luck to him. A very good player on his day. Hopefully he does well except vs APOEL.
Congratulations to
@StephenConstan
on the new job. 🍾
No other Cypriot can say they have a career like his!
He will not rest until he has coached every National Team in Asia and Africa.
Also, so you know, there's 2 Nabis playing in 🇨🇾 right now!
The Pakistan Football Federation, in order to provide Pakistan with the best chance of winning the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers against Cambodia, is proud to present to you our new Men's National Team Head Coach: Stephen Constantine.
New collab just dropped between Stel and I about the season that APOEL have had: the ups, downs and sideways moves that led to the team from Nicosia getting their 1st title in 5 seasons.
What. A. Banger. Of a season.
Kerkida are reporting that clubs are making a effort to request from the CFA to cancel some of the fines they are having to pay every week.
Here's are some ideas:
1. Start playing Cypriots.
2. Control yer fans.
3. Control yer ballboys
Then, less fines.
And there it is.
We've been waiting for a blockbuster signing this summer and they're starting to come through.
APOEL announce the signing of Max Meyer. The 28 year old German attacking midfielder has been at Schalke, Crystal Palace, Koln, Midtjyland, Fenerbahce and Luzern.
Stadium is aiming to be a UEFA Criteria 4 Stadium of 14k capacity in its original size, while allowing possible expansion to 20k
The land required equates to 150,000 m2
The club has managed to lease land for the next 80 years which equated to about 147,000m2 in Kokkinotrimithia
Anorthosis announce the signing of Bevis Mugabi.
There's a t-shirt idea.
The Ugandan defender comes in following 5 seasons at Motherwell. Prior to that he was at Yeovil Town and in the Southampton and Fulham youth teams.
Η Ανόρθωσις Αμμοχώστου ανακοινώνει την κατ'αρχήν συμφωνία της με τον ποδοσφαιριστή Bevis Mugabi. Ο ποδοσφαιριστής αγωνίζεται ως κεντρικός αμυντικός. Η συμφωνία θα ε��εργοποιηθεί μετά τις απαραίτητες ιατρικές εξετάσεις

Manager sacking number 2 for this season already. Gallego is gone from APOEL.
Very disappointed in his tenure, I thought he would have delivered considering the improvements in the squad.
That defeat to RFS was unforgiveable, though. Playing Kostadinov as a CD. Madness.
