Emmanuel Banda, currently in the spotlight at the African Cup of Nations and set to conclude his contract with HNK Rijeka in June 2025, might be making a move sooner than anticipated.
The Zambian midfielder has caught the eye of multiple clubs, sparking speculations about a potential transfer once the tournament concludes.
With keen interest coming from Belgium and Turkey, the Chililabombwe native is now reportedly in advanced talks with Greece, particularly with Paok, as relayed by sources to our Africafoot editorial staff.
While Emmanuel Banda’s contract situation offers clubs a potential opportunity, HNK Rijeka is unlikely to part with their influential midfielder without a considerable offer.
Banda, who arrived from Djurgården in the winter of 2023, has proven to be a crucial component for Chipolopolos, featuring in 20 matches this season alone.
As the 26-year-old’s market value rises to 900,000 euros, as per Transfermarkt, securing his services will undoubtedly require a substantial financial commitment from any interested party.
Banda, who commenced his journey in the CAN with Zambia against the Democratic Republic of Congo, also enjoys recognition in the Saudi Pro League.
During his club’s preseason, he drew attention from various Saudi Pro League clubs, including Al Riyadh.
The midfielder’s future seems poised for change, potentially taking him away from Croatia, should the interested clubs decide to take definitive action.
