On Thursday PAOK confirmed that Sofoklis Shortsanitis extended his deal with the Greek club until the end of the season. The return of Sofo to Thesaloniki proved ideal and enough to keep him away from Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The Israelis are on the market for a center, tried to lure Loukas Mavrokefalidis – who has a contract until the end of the season with AEK – and then made also a move for Sofoklis who was a part of the Maccabi team which won the Euroleague two years ago. However, the negotiations never really took off and PAOK will keep the player until at least the summer.
