Transfer News: After rejecting Panathinaikos, Former Man City Forward Iheanacho wanted by PAOK

Greek champions PAOK Salonika have renewed their interest in Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho as they look to strengthen their attacking options before the end of the winter transfer window, according to a report by All Nigeria Soccer.

According to Spanish newspaper ABC, PAOK are keen to secure a deal for the former Manchester City and Leicester City striker, who has struggled for consistency since joining Sevilla last summer as a free agent.

Iheanacho has managed just three goals in 11 appearances across all competitions for Sevilla, raising questions about his future in La Liga. His lack of impact has fueled speculation over a potential mid-season exit, with several clubs monitoring his situation.

The 27-year-old was recently linked with a move to Panathinaikos, but he reportedly turned down the opportunity, preferring to explore other options. Now, PAOK are pushing to bring him to the Greek Super League, reigniting the interest they initially showed in him last summer.

PAOK, currently fourth in the league table, are looking for reinforcements as they chase domestic and European success. Reports indicate that the club is prepared to offer Sevilla up to two million euros for Iheanacho's services, hoping to convince both the player and his current club to agree to the transfer.

Sevilla, who recently signed Nigerian striker Akor Adams to boost their frontline, may be willing to part ways with Iheanacho to free up space in their squad. However, it remains uncertain whether the Super Eagles star is open to making the move to Greece.
