Aris Thessaloniki negotiates for Brouma amid squad injury concerns

Aris Thessaloniki is actively seeking to strengthen its roster before the transfer window closes. The club is currently in negotiations with Benfica regarding the potential acquisition of 31-year-old winger Andreas Brouma. According to Portuguese media outlet Record, Brouma is not currently in Benfica's long-term plans, making a move a viable option for both parties.

Separately, Aris is continuing its pre-season preparations ahead of a tournament in Cyprus scheduled for September 11-13. Head coach Vassilis Spanoulis faces several squad challenges due to injuries. Stelios Poulianitis (hamstring), Adam Mokoka (toe), and Giorgos Tanoulis (serious injury) will miss the upcoming trip to Cyprus. On a positive note, Kostas Antetokounmbo has returned to training after recovering from knee issues.
