The future of Hamza Menchil at Άρης now seems highly uncertain, with recent events in the match against Levadiakos further strengthening this scenario.

Hamza Menchil is unlikely to continue with Άρης in the new season, as the match against Levadiakos has confirmed the tense atmosphere surrounding his situation.

It may not have been immediately apparent at the time, but the Moroccan left-back did not appear to take well to the fact that Michalis Gregorios did not use him as a substitute in the game, instead opting for Fantig as the left-back.

The image of Menchil leaving the pitch and heading towards the changing rooms before the match ended was not overlooked by Άρης. Although it is unclear whether there was any prior permission or notification to the coaching staff, the incident is indicative of the broader situation.

The Tense Climate

Overall, the climate between the two parties seems quite difficult at this point, and only a significant turnaround could change the data. At Άρης, they have almost concluded that they will not exercise the renewal option in Menchil's contract. Furthermore, his current performance has not convinced them that he can be a core solution for the team's future, making his departure in the summer more likely.
