Many times, however, we miss significant moves by teams that are theoretically inferior or at least less attractive than them. One of these underrated teams is Zalgiris from the -usually- freezing- […]
Cedi Osman is preparing for the next chapter of his career with PAOK, and at SKWEEK we decided to let artificial intelligence weigh in.

November 2024. “I said that if they take my player, I’ll make offers for all of their stars. It doesn’t mean they’ll want to play for Hapoel, but I’ll sign them and they can go wherever they want. Maybe I’ll even send them to Partizan for free.” July 2026. “You’ll always be part of our […]
