Giorgos Giakoumakis
30-Year-Old
PAOK
Joins PAOK on loan
Giakoumakis was loaned to Greek side PAOK from Cruz Azul for the rest of the 2025/26 season, his parent club announced Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Giakoumakis has left the Mexican league following a short stint with La Maquina, where he contributed nine goals and seven assists in 34 appearances (19 starts). The former Atlanta United and Celtic player is a reliable shooter when fit, but constant muscle injuries have prevented him from seeing regular action throughout his career. Still, he'll look to regain momentum upon his return to Greece. Meanwhile, Angel Sepulveda will remain Cruz Azul's starting striker.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could move to Mexico
Cruz Azul are interested in signing Giakoumakis in the summer, according to Tom Bogert of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Giakoumakis has struggled to replicate the form he evidenced in the 2023 MLS season, when he was one of the league's most prolific strikers, and Cruz Azul have set their sights on him due to the team's need of a proven goalscorer and Atlanta's own struggles. Atlanta rejected Cruz Azul's first approach, but the Mexican giants are expected to submit another offer for the Greek striker.
