Sporting chase Fotis Ioannidis, make million-euro offer | OneFootball

Fotis Ioannidis could cost Sporting between 18 and 20 million euros. The Lions, who seem poised to sell Conrad Harder, want to find a replacement for the Dane, and see the Greek forward as the ideal solution, despite the transfer window closing fast.

The information is provided by Bruno Andrade, from MaisFutebol. Fotis Ioannidis has been a long-standing interest of the Lions, who were very close to signing the Greek forward in the summer of 2024. The deal did not go through, and the player spent another season at Panathinaikos, but could indeed head to Alvalade before the end of the transfer window.

The Sporting has already started talks with the Greek club, having proposed values around 15 million euros. Panathinaikos pointed to higher figures, around 22 million, but they are willing to lower these demands to 18 million, due to Ioannidis' performances falling short of expectations last season.

According to national press reports, Sporting has already reached an agreement with the player regarding his future contract. There is even a verbal confirmation, for a five-season bond with the Lions, although the values of Ioannidis' salary are not yet known.

Remember that all this situation was precipitated by the imminent departure of Conrad Harder from Sporting. The young Dane, who was once seen as the successor to Viktor Gyokeres in Alvalade, is expected to leave the Club for values around 24 million euros, with AC Milan being the most likely destination.
