PAOK reaches contract extension agreement with Giannis Michailidis

PAOK FC Giannis Michailidis contract extension Greek Super League football transfer

PAOK FC has reached an agreement to extend the contract of 26-year-old central defender Giannis Michailidis until the summer of 2030. The negotiations, led by Maria Gotsarova, resulted in a significant salary increase from approximately €600,000 to €950,000 annually, plus bonuses. Notably, the new deal will not include a buyout clause, ensuring the club maintains control over the player's future.

Michailidis, a product of the PAOK academy who joined in 2016, has made 165 appearances and scored nine goals for the first team since his debut in January 2020. The extension follows a period of resilience for the defender, including a recovery from a serious ACL injury in 2022.

In other club news, PAOK is preparing for an away match against OFI Crete in the Stoiximan Super League. Head coach Alessio Lisi has announced the squad, which will be without injured players Pelkas and Lousé, though Despodov participated in most of the training sessions. Additionally, the PAOK women's water polo team secured a 19-13 victory against NO Chania.
