  • Aris is reportedly making a move for Greek guard Vasilis Toliopoulos, potentially challenging PAOK for his signature.
  • Toliopoulos has strong ties to Aris, having risen to prominence with the club and maintaining a good relationship with coach Vassilis Spanoulis.
  • Aris aims to sign Toliopoulos without entering a bidding war, setting financial limits to avoid overpaying.

The Greek basketball club Aris is reportedly preparing a move to sign guard Vasilis Toliopoulos, creating a potential rivalry with PAOK, who are also interested in the player. Toliopoulos has been a prominent figure in recent transfer news, with PAOK seemingly willing to offer a significant sum to secure him.

However, Aris is emerging as a strong contender. Information suggests the Thessaloniki-based club is preparing its approach to Panathinaikos for Toliopoulos. Despite having nearly completed their roster with the signing of Stefan Jovic, Aris views Toliopoulos as a unique and valuable addition.

Toliopoulos's history with Aris is significant; he gained recognition with the club in recent years, becoming one of the league's top scorers. His strong relationship with coach Vassilis Spanoulis and his affection for the club are factors Aris intends to leverage to strengthen its roster with a top-tier Greek player.

Despite their interest, Aris is determined not to engage in a bidding war with PAOK or any other team. The club plans to set its own financial boundaries for the transfer, aiming to acquire Toliopoulos without overpaying or exceeding realistic market values.
