Reasons for concern for Gigi Becali! The future opponent in the Europa League, ready to strike with the transfer of a Champions League winner with Liverpool

Gigi Becali set out to score 17 points in the Europa League, but a future opponent is ready to upset his plans with a top transfer.

FCSB have qualified for the Europa League, where they will meet eight opponents against whom Gigi Becali hopes his team will play well and get up to 17 points. It will be a difficult task even in front of Răzvan Lucescu’s team, PAOK, who are preparing to strengthen themselves with Dejan Lovren (35), a player who conquered the Champions League with Liverpool.

The future opponent of the red-blues in the Europa League wants to strike at the end of the mercato with the transfer of Dejan Lovren. Currently, the Croatian is registered with Olympique Lyon, a team he has not played for since the beginning of this year. For Răzvan Lucescu’s team, it would be an important move because it has serious problems in defense after being without two of its main defenders.

Konstantinos Koulierakis arrived at Wolfsburg, while William Troost-Ekong signed with Arab group Al-Khoolod, so Răzvan Lucescu had to improvise in the new season and rely only on Giannis Michailidis and Tomasz Kedziora.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the experienced Croatian defender has agreed to make the switch to the Greek team. Lyon and PAOK have already started talks to complete the move for the player who has won numerous trophies throughout his career.

Greek side PAOK are closing in on a deal to sign Dejan Lovren from Olympique Lyon! The final details are yet to be clarified while Lovren has already accepted the move to PAOK. The clubs started to exchange documents this evening,” Fabrizio Romano said on social networks.

Dejan Lovren is a suitable player for Răzvan Lucescu because he has extensive experience in European cups, but also in the most important championships in Europe. He won 13 trophies during his career, but the most important ones remain the Champions League and the Premier League title achieved at Liverpool. He also has a world runner-up title won in Russia in 2018, alongside the Croatian national team.

PAOK started this season in the Champions League qualifiers, but like FCSB were knocked out and qualified for the Europa League, where will face the formation trained by Elias Charalambous.

The Greeks will have a difficult task against much stronger teams than the ones the red-blues will meet. The only common opponents are Manchester United and Rigas.

PAOK – Galatasaray, FCSB, Viktoria Plzen, Manchester United, Real Sociedad, Rigas, Ferencvaros, Slavia Praga

FCSB – Rangers, Manchester United, PAOK, Olympiacos, Midtylland, Qarabag, Hoffenheim, Rigas

The match between PAOK and FCSB will take place on October 3, in Thessaloniki.
