Taichung Rock Overview

For some football fans, the summer is the part of the calendar that they look forward to the most - and that's not just because it's filled by a World Cup every four years! Rather, it's because the end of the season means only one thing: It's time for transfers! The 2026 window is once again proving to be busy, with some huge names making big-money moves before deadline day on September 1.

Giannis Konstantelias' imminent transfer to Borussia Dortmund has sparked a massive revolt among PAOK supporters.
