Attention, Sporting: Ioannidis deal causing a stir in Greece | OneFootball

Panathinaikos is uneasy about the possible transfer of Fotis Ioannidis. After being heavily linked to Sporting last season, the Greek forward is once again on the route to Alvalade, following the impending transfer of Conrad Harder to Milan.

According to information advanced by the Greek sports press, the Athens emblem does not approve of the methods that the Leonine SAD is using to handle the transfer of its team captain. Frederico Varandas' management has already reached an agreement with the player, despite not having agreed on anything with his club yet.

Panathinaikos is "concerned about the way Sporting is acting" and, according to Gazetta dello Sport, will only give up on Fotis Ioannidis' services if the Lions pay the 25 million euros demanded by the Greek capital's formation.

The Greek international has a five-season contract waiting for him at Alvalade. Sporting is starting to run against time, as the market closes next Monday, September 1st. Despite Panathinaikos' management continuing to demand 20 million euros fixed, plus 5M for objectives, the Leonine structure is trying to lower that same threshold to 18M.

Last season, 2024/25, while serving Panathinaikos, Fotis Ioannidis - valued at 15 million euros - had numbers below expectations. In 42 games played, the forward scored 11 goals and signed two assists. This season, he has played four games without any goal contributions.
