PAOK are being linked with a move for Baltika defender Nathan Gassama as the Greek side assess a potential bargain deal for the €1.50m-rated centre-back.
The 25-year-old, who holds both Malian and French nationality, is currently on the books of Russian Premier Liga side Baltika Kaliningrad, where he wears the number 4 shirt. Data from Transfermarkt lists his market value at €1.50m, with his contractual situation at Baltika unclear and no expiry date publicly registered – a factor that could yet open the door to a free-agent departure if his deal has quietly run down.
Gassama, a left-footed centre-back standing at 1.92m, was born on 5 January 2001 in Évry, France, and has developed into a physically imposing defender in the Russian top flight. He is registered as a central defender by trade and is currently listed with Baltika Kaliningrad as his national-team designation on Transfermarkt, underlining how closely his recent progress has been tied to the club.
The latest speculation, dated 26 April 2026, links him with Greek Super League 1 outfit PAOK, who are thought to be exploring defensive reinforcements ahead of the new campaign. The reported probability of the move remains unclear and is marked only as “?”, with no indication at this stage that talks are advanced or that a formal bid has been tabled.
No recent competitive fixture details, scorelines or performance breakdowns have been formally logged in the supplied data, but Gassama’s profile – a tall, left-footed, dual-nationality defender in his mid-20s – makes him an attractive option for clubs seeking value in the market.
Should a switch to PAOK materialise, it would offer Gassama a fresh platform in European competition and the chance to enhance his reputation beyond Russia, potentially turning a modestly valued defender into a key Super League 1 performer.
