PAOK are offering Panathinaikos €1.5 million for Kourbelis, including the services of Ergys Kaçe, Giannis Mystakidis and Dimitris Konstantinidis for the second half of this season, but the player is reluctant for this transfer, besides the annual fee of €450,000.

Last season, he showed great composure in important matches as one of his best games in the Green shirt was against rivals Olympiacos.
