Cyprus‑DR Congo centre-back Konstantinos Venizelou of PAEEK Kyrenia is being linked with a switch to top-flight side Krasava ENY, with the 21-year-old’s future clouded by an unclear contract situation and the possibility he could move as a free agent.
The left-footed defender, born in Nicosia on 5 July 2004, is currently valued at around €100k, according to Transfermarkt, with that relatively modest figure fuelling speculation that Krasava ENY see him as a low-cost option to deepen their defensive options in the Cyprus League. The reported probability of the move remains listed as “?” and there is no confirmation of an agreement between the clubs.
Venizelou has been turning out for PAEEK in the Cypriot 2. Division, wearing the number 33 shirt, and is listed as a mainstay at centre-back. With no public record of when his deal at PAEEK was signed and no contract expiry date disclosed, observers have noted that a free transfer cannot be ruled out if his contract has already run down or is close to expiring.
Recent data from the 2025‑26 campaign shows Venizelou continuing to feature in PAEEK’s back line, including their most recent fixture in the second tier, although detailed public statistics on his individual performance, opposition and exact scoreline have not been published. He has yet to be capped at senior international level for either Cyprus or DR Congo, but his dual nationality adds further intrigue for scouts tracking emerging defensive talent.
Standing at 1.86m and operating primarily as a central defender, Venizelou’s profile fits the modern mould of a ball-playing stopper in a league that increasingly values tactical versatility and aerial presence. Should a move to Krasava ENY materialise this summer, the step up from the 2. Division to the Cyprus League could prove a pivotal moment in shaping his reputation and accelerating his development at the top level of Cypriot football.
