Newcastle United could up offer to sign defensive target – €6m may do it

Greek newspaper Sportime report PAOK are looking to get more than €4.5m from the sale of their left-back Dimitris Giannoulis.

The Greek left-back has been linked with a move to Newcastle United in recent weeks, along with Premier League rivals Watford and Ligue 1 side Marseille.

Sportime claim Newcastle United could up their offer but the same can’t be said for Marseille, who are likely to struggle to reach the transfer fee PAOK want.

PAOK are looking to get something in the region of €6m for the Greek international, and they are likely to say no to suggested offers of around €4.5m.

The 24 year old has been a key player for Abel Fereria’s side since last season and he impressed in their Champions League qualifying game against Besiktas this week.

Giannoulis made 44 appearances for the Thessaloniki side during the last campaign, providing six assists. His contract with the Greek club will expire at the end of June 2022.
