At a glance
- Aris FC is considering giving winger Tassos Donis a second chance despite initial plans to move him on.
- Donis, who has a contract for next season, believes he can show improved performance.
- The club is evaluating players with contracts who are not part of future plans to manage the budget.
The case of Tassos Donis presents a potential shift in Aris FC's initial plans for the upcoming season. The 29-year-old winger was not initially considered a priority, existing in a "gray zone" due to his existing contract for the next season.
However, recent discussions between the player and the club may alter this situation. Aris has shown flexibility regarding Donis, while the player himself is convinced he can deliver a different performance compared to his previous season, where he played 14 matches for 494 minutes.
The club is actively managing departures, particularly players under contract who are not in their long-term plans, aiming to reduce the team's budget. This process, overseen by Ruben Reyes, is expected to continue throughout the summer.
Aris appears to be looking for ways to reduce its financial burdens and sees Donis as a potential depth option with existing quality. They are considering offering him a second chance to work more effectively and make a more significant impact next season.
Donis, who has prior experience at a higher level, is motivated to work hard and contribute more in the upcoming season. While the situation is not yet finalized, new developments suggest a potential new arrangement between the player and the club.
