AEK is on the verge of finalizing the transfer of Barnabas Varga from Ferencvaros. The two parties have already reached an agreement, and the final details are expected to be settled today. The 31-year-old Hungarian forward is expected to sign a 3.5-year contract with the club, with Marko Nikolic already preparing to integrate him into the team. Varga boasts impressive statistics, having scored 20 goals and provided 5 assists in 29 appearances across all competitions, with a significant contribution in European games as well. His acquisition is expected to significantly strengthen AEK's attacking line, which already includes Jovetic and Zini, while Frantzdy Pierre is likely to be relegated to the fourth position in the pecking order and may be loaned out.
