Aris Thessaloniki targets transfers and squad reductions

Aris Thessaloniki is actively managing its squad as the transfer window progresses, focusing on both new signings and player departures. The club currently maintains a large roster of 32 players, prompting a need to rationalize the squad.

Key recruitment priorities include a left winger, a left back, and a center-back. The club is exploring the possibility of signing Brazilian player Vandersson from Cruzeiro, who can play as a left back or in more advanced positions. Negotiations regarding his contract are in the early stages.

Regarding departures, the club is looking to offload players who are not part of the primary plans. A recent attempt to transfer Spanish striker Loren Moron to APOEL failed because the Cypriot club was unwilling to cover a sufficient portion of his €1,000,000 contract. Additionally, the club faces congestion in the attacking line with players such as Rafa Mir, Tino Cavere, Christian Kouamé, and Miguel Alfarel, leading to discussions regarding player roles and potential exits.
