Having just officially announced the signing of Greece captain Angelos Basinas on a three-year deal, AEK management are preparing for a friendly match against Genoa that carries huge personal significance for Sokratis Papastathopoulos.Speculation has been rife about the future of the promising central defender, with last-minute interest from Ajax appearing to have dislodged slightly the initial approach from the Serie A outfit.It has been reported that Ajax Director of Football Danny Blind has been personally monitoring the progress of Papastathopoulos during pre-season and, despite the fact that the Amsterdam giants did not meet AEK’s initial request of €4 million for the player’s services, the Dutch club may be given another opportunity to nab the highly rated defender.Friday’s friendly against Genoa in Schwaz, Austria, will certainly provide an intriguing scenario for the Greek side; it remains to be seen whether the Italians will use the friendly to take one final look at Papastathopoulos, who has played in AEK’s most recent friendly matches.The absence of the 20-year-old’s name from the AEK team sheet on Friday will certainly be an indicator of the direction of his immediate future. With out-of-contract Greece centre-back Sotiris Kyrgiakos apparently lined-up by the Athenians as a replacement for Papastathopoulos, all eyes will certainly be fixed on the scenic Austrian district of Schwaz for the remainder of the week.
