Report Vogliacco ready for PAOK transfer

Genoa centre-back Alessandro Vogliacco is poised to join PAOK on a loan with an option to buy. Betting impact: his move could weaken Genoa's defence and boost PAOK's starting XI—punters might back PAOK to concede fewer goals or wager on Vogliacco to start and influence clean-sheet markets.

Alessandro Vogliacco set to undergo PAOK medical as loan deal nears completion

Genoa defender Alessandro Vogliacco is reportedly ready to travel to Greece for a medical ahead of a season-long loan to PAOK that includes an option to buy. Interest from domestic clubs failed to materialise into offers, leaving the Serbia-linked centre-back to pursue an opportunity abroad.

Transfer structure and market context

The move is expected to be a temporary switch with PAOK holding an option to make the transfer permanent at season’s end. Serie A clubs Pisa and Cagliari were linked earlier but did not submit bids, while Palermo in Serie B was also mentioned as a possible destination before talks shifted overseas.

Player profile and career timeline

The 27-year-old centre-back came through the youth ranks at Bari and Juventus before senior spells with Pordenone, Benevento and Genoa. Genoa paid around €2m to sign Vogliacco from Pordenone in August 2021, and he spent the latter half of the most recent campaign on loan at Parma. Off the pitch, Vogliacco is married and named his son in tribute to the late coach Sinisa Mihajlovic.

Squad impact and betting implications

Vogliacco’s departure would reduce Genoa’s central defensive depth and could force tactical adjustments early in the season. For punters, this development alters several markets: Genoa may have a higher chance of conceding goals without him, while PAOK’s defensive solidity and Vogliacco’s likelihood of starting make him a candidate for player-start markets and clean-sheet-related bets. Monitor official confirmation and starting lineups before placing wagers.
