Ioannidis discusses Sporting deal, but warns: I didn't quite understand | OneFootball

Fotis Ioannidis is indeed going to be a reinforcement for Sporting and the Greek has already spoken about the understanding with the lions. At the end of the Samsunspor – Panathinaikos match, which secured the Greeks' qualification for the Conference League group stage, the striker warned, however, that some formalities still need to be completed.

"As far as I know, there is already a verbal agreement. Now, there are procedures left to conclude, as in any transfer," Fotis Ioannidis stated, who, at the end of the match, bid farewell to his teammates and also to the fans in a particularly emotional way.

Asked about his feelings playing his last game for Panathinaikos, Fotis Ioannidis said: "At first, I didn't quite understand what was happening. Then, when I was on the bus, I realized there was a special emotion inside me and slowly understood what was happening. It might have been one of the games where I was most stressed because I wanted to help the team."

"I thank the management of Panathinaikos for supporting me, helping me all these years. Thanks to all my teammates, it's one of the reasons I can take this next step. I couldn't forget my family, the people who are always by my side in my daily life, and of course, all the technical teams that have been here," said Fotis Ioannidis.

"The people have been by my side from the moment I arrived, supported me, helped me. I only keep the positive aspects of all this cooperation because that's how I am as a person. To have positive thoughts, positive opinions within me. Whatever is unpleasant around me, I remove. The fans have been by my side and I thank them," concluded Fotis Ioannidis, who will indeed be a reinforcement for Sporting in this transfer market.
