And not unjustly since he is a high quality footballer who can raise the level of the greens and was loved by as few as in recent years. For now, however, his return is facing obstacles. Obstacles high, difficult, but not insurmountable. Let's start from the beginning.
The two obstacles to Christofis' return
The fact is that the footballer really wants to return. He expressed this wish to agents and friends of Omonia, hence the comment of Thyra 9 on Facebook the day before yesterday.
For their part, the greens can not give Christofis earnings that exceed the club's finances, since the problems and the huge debt that is a big "thorn" are known. There is also an issue with Zion, which does not want to leave the footballer alone and wants money to give the "OK" for his concession.
The Swiss owe an amount of 150.000 euros from Jimmy's transfer, which the greens are not willing to give. And the reason is that the Board of Directors has calculated this money in this year's budget. In other words, if Omonia gives them to Zion to get Christofis, then it will automatically go out of budget and everyone knows how limited this is, especially this year.
These two obstacles, therefore, have forced the managers of the "clover" to seek financial help from non-governmental agents and friends of the team in order to assist and implement the big transfer. Specifically, they are looking for an amount that will cover part of the contract that Omonia will offer to the footballer.
Finally, the repatriation of Christofis is not the easiest thing. The desire of both sides and the people of the team is a strong asset, but they are not enough for Jim to dress in green.
In Omonia they know very well that such an addition will only have a positive impact, but the truth is that there are obstacles that must be overcome to make their dream come true.
"Mitsio, I'm not well, go back and let me die!"
It is really unbelievable what is happening in the last days with the possible return of Dimitris Christofis to Omonia.
Damn, in every sense of the word. Everywhere, in cafes, on the internet, wherever you stand and find yourself, this is the topic of discussion. The friends of the "clover" have gone crazy just at the idea of Jim wearing the green jersey again.
He favors his return to Cyprus and a great effort is made by the administration to find the financial resources and to complete the biggest transfer of the summer. The love of the world of Omonia for Christofis is unlimited and reaches the limit of paranoia.
The comments on social media are "raining", while a relevant group has already been created on Facebook with the name: "We want Dimitris Christofis back in Omonia", which gathered from August 13 until today 2778 likes and they go up with the minute!
In fact, the inspirers of the group posted the following comment today at noon: "We know that Dimitris has been informed about the creation of our page. "Write your own message to Jim to show him how much we love him!"
And the comments of the people are simply enjoyable.
"Mitsioooooo I'm not well I cry"
"Come to your family"
"2500 likes that 20 euros, do we have the first 50.000 euros?"

In his statements to "Astra", the spokesman of Omonia, Andreas Dimitriou referred to the efforts for repatriation of Dimitris Christofis.
He said that "a negotiation is underway with the aim of finding the best possible solution." He stressed that the administration fully understands the anxiety of the people and the strong desire for the footballer to dress in green.
"At the moment, a negotiation is underway in order to find the best possible solution. Therefore, our union, for the time being, cannot make any further report and we must respect that ", his initial comment.
He added: "We fully understand the anxiety of the people and their intense desire that is expressed every minute to see Dimitris Christofis again with the jersey of Omonia, but we must let things develop and say more at the right time."
Concluding, Dimitriou said: "For the time being, as I said, the negotiation is in progress, the goal of which is to find the best possible solution."
