PAOK management made a decisive move, submitting a request to purchase a permanent license to participate in the Euroleague!
In fact, for the first time, it seems that their candidacy might have a chance if the numbers don't add up for the 20 teams in next year's top interclub competition.
At this time, both Villeurbanne and Monaco are unlikely to be in the Euroleague next year, so PAOK's request is being evaluated with good chances for the new season, if a vacant spot arises. Otherwise, it will be re-evaluated for the season after next.
However, the management of Aristotelis Mystakidis has shown from the very first moment that it sets very high standards for its ambitions and is determined to exhaust all possibilities to participate in the top interclub competition.
This is also why there is an investment plan with a significant budget increase for next year, as there are high expectations and this move shows that the Euroleague is the big goal.
