Giorgi Kvilitaia is on the verge of leaving Aris, having been informed by the club's management to find a new team. Despite having a contract with Aris until 2027, the Georgian striker is no longer in the team's plans. There is unofficial interest from several clubs, including those in Cyprus, to acquire his services. Aris representative Kostas Papadopoulos described Kvilitaia as a role model professional, highlighting his dedication to training and positive attitude. Papadopoulos also commented on the team's elimination from AEL in the Cup, attributing it to AEL's greater determination and missed opportunities, as well as a controversial penalty. He stressed that the defeat is a failure for Aris. Regarding the upcoming league match against Omonia, Papadopoulos stated that it is extremely important for the team, as they are already five points behind the leaders. Victory is the only goal for Aris in this match. Finally, he mentioned the absences of the team ahead of the match against Omonia, with Gaustad, Kovalenko, Nikolits, and Semedo all unavailable.
