Title: Luis Palma’s Future Hangs in the Balance as European Clubs Show Interest
Date: July 9, 2023
The Honduran forward, Luis Palma, is impressing during his preseason with Aris Thessaloniki, although uncertainty surrounds his future in the European transfer market.
Despite attracting interest from several clubs across Europe, no offers have been received to meet the economic expectations set by Aris Thessaloniki for the 23-year-old attacker, who scored an impressive 13 goals last season.
According to reports from Greek portal The Transfer Geek, two options have emerged for Luis Palma this summer. The first option involves his sale to a foreign club for a fee of five million euros, while the second option entails renewing his contract with an included salary increase.
Among the clubs vying for Palma’s services are Scottish side Rangers, Belgian outfit Anderlecht, and Greek champions AEK Athens.
The medium in question cited a conversation between Aris Thessaloniki’s president, Thodoros Karypidis, and the team’s sporting director, Robert Palikoutsa, revealing that Palma’s sale is not currently a priority due to the absence of a satisfactory offer. Furthermore, the priority for Aris Thessaloniki would be to offload the player abroad, dismissing any notion of a potential transfer to AEK Athens.
“In the event that Luis Palma is not sold at the end of the transfer period, he will sign a new contract with an adjustment in his salary, while it is possible that there will be a termination clause for a future departure to another team,” concluded the article.
The future of Luis Palma remains uncertain as European clubs continue to express their interest. Aris Thessaloniki will be closely monitoring the transfer market in hopes of securing a satisfying deal or potentially renegotiating the player’s contract to ensure a prosperous future for both parties involved.
