So far this campaign, Tzolis has already netted 15 times and picked up 21 assists in 34 top-flight games, an insane record.
Therefore, it is of little surprise that Club Brugge are set to demand a record fee for the Belgian Pro League to part with their star man, which currently stands at £31.25million.

Who else are Aston Villa linked with?
Football Insider has exclusively revealed that Omar Marmoush is a target for Aston Villa this summer.
The Manchester City star has struggled for minutes this campaign despite only joining the club in 2025.
The Egyptian forward was close to leaving the Etihad Stadium in January, but neither Villa nor Spurs were able to complete a loan deal before the window ended.
Now, the Birmingham outfit are eyeing a summer swoop for Marmoush, with their recent qualification for the Champions League giving them a boost in their pursuit.
However, it remains to be seen if they are capable of completing the deal, with plenty of twists and turns expected in the transfer window.
