Brentford had dispatched scouts to observe the 29-year-old during a Europa Conference League match against Dinamo Zagreb earlier in the season, aiming to reinforce their squad after a difficult campaign that saw Rico Henry sidelined due to a knee injury.

Opting to concentrate on his club commitments this season, Rahman has regained his top form, showcasing improved fitness levels and delivering impressive displays in both domestic and European competitions.

PAOK currently sits in second place in the league standings, with an outside shot at clinching the title.

The club will be hopeful that a league triumph could persuade one of their key players to extend his stay beyond the summer.
