Report: Greg Taylor Delays PAOK Move Amid Champions League Talks

Greg Taylor’s proposed move to PAOK has taken an unexpected turn. According to an exclusive update from Mark Hendry’s Substack, the left-back is now weighing up a surprise late approach from FC Copenhagen.

The Greek side had been closing in on a deal for the 27-year-old, but fresh developments have thrown his future back into question.

Taylor was on the verge of completing a switch to PAOK, but recent days have seen the situation shift dramatically. The player has reportedly held back from signing off on the move, with Copenhagen now entering the race to present an alternative option.

Copenhagen have entered the picture as they assess potential additions to strengthen the left-back position for their upcoming Champions League qualifiers. Taylor has now emerged as one of the options under serious consideration as the Danish side look to bolster their squad.

Having joined Celtic from Kilmarnock back in 2019, Taylor’s time in Glasgow now looks to be reaching its conclusion. The recent arrival of Kieran Tierney on a five-year contract has pushed Taylor down the pecking order, with the 27-year-old reluctant to settle for a backup role.

With pre-season fast approaching, Taylor’s decision in the coming days could determine where he plays next season, whether that’s in Greece, Denmark, or elsewhere entirely.
