Morocco and Ivory Coast defender Hamza Mendyl is being linked with a switch from Aris Saloniki to fellow Greek Super League 1 side Volos NFC.
The 28-year-old left-back, who plays for Aris in Greece’s top flight, is rated at around €800k on Transfermarkt and is the subject of growing speculation over his future, with his contract situation currently unclear and the possibility he could become a free agent not ruled out. The reported probability of the move is listed as “?”, underlining how early the talks appear to be.
Mendyl, born in Casablanca on 21 October 1997, stands at 1.79m and operates primarily as a defender on the left, favouring his left foot. He wears the number 37 shirt for Aris and has been part of the Thessaloniki club’s push in Super League 1, with his energetic overlapping runs and recovery pace making him a notable option in both defensive and attacking phases.
Recent data places his market value at €800k, a figure that could tempt Volos into a relatively low‑risk move within the same division as they look to strengthen their back line. Both clubs compete in the Greek Super League 1, which may ease any potential negotiations, whether for a transfer fee now or a pre-contract arrangement should Mendyl’s deal at Aris be close to expiry.
Mendyl holds dual nationality – Morocco and Cote d’Ivoire – and has experience across different leagues earlier in his career, although the current data focuses on his spell in Greece. His social media presence, including verified Twitter and Instagram accounts, has also fuelled discussion among supporters as rumours circulate over a possible summer move.
If a transfer to Volos NFC does materialise, it could offer Mendyl a fresh platform in Greece to stabilise his career and reassert his value in the European market at a key stage of his prime years.
