Vagiannidis has just joined Sporting and could already act as an agent | OneFootball

Ioannidis is the next target for Sporting this transfer window, and Vagiannidis is helping the Lions convince the player.

Georgios Vagiannidis is working like a true agent to help Sporting secure the signing of Fotis Ioannidis. Known from Panathinaikos, the Lions' summer signing has been talking to the forward and doing his part in the process.

According to information revealed by the newspaper A Bola, the green and white full-back is acting like a real 'undercover agent', having already spoken with the Athens formation's forward about Sporting's interest in signing him. The 'number 13' has been saying the best possible things about the Lions, as he feels completely integrated not only in the team but also in the country.

Furthermore, it is worth remembering that Ioannidis has also shown, to Panathinaikos, his interest in moving to Portugal in this transfer market. Although both parties are in sync, an agreement with the Hellenic club is still needed, something Sporting could not achieve about a year ago.

The Greek international has waiting for him, at Alvalade, a contract valid for five seasons. Sporting is racing 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 Lions' structure is trying to lower that threshold to 18M.

In the last 2024/25 season, while playing for Panathinaikos, Fotis Ioannidis - valued at 15 million euros - had numbers below expectations. In 42 matches played, the forward scored 11 times and made two assists. In the current season, he has played four games without any goal contributions yet.
