A bombshell report has emerged from Turkey, implicating OFI. According to journalist Oguz Oruc, the Cretans are monitoring developments surrounding the case of João Mário.
Specifically, OFI is evaluating the Portuguese attacking midfielder, while waiting to see if he will become a free agent so they can make him an offer, as they do not wish to pay Besiktas a transfer fee for him.

In fact, it’s a possibility that he could come back onto AEK’s radar this summer…
