Ioannidis’ Sporting contract details revealed: all you need to know | OneFootball

Fotis Ioannidis may be getting closer to becoming a reinforcement for Sporting. The negotiations between the lions and Panathinaikos seem to have advanced in the last few hours, and now there are news about the contract that the Greek international will find in Alvalade.

According to information revealed by the newspaper Record, the forward has a five-season contract waiting for him, that is, if he ends up transferring to Rui Borges' team, Ioannidis will sign a bond that ties him to the lions until 2030.

Although Panathinaikos' management continues to demand 20 million euros fixed, plus 5M for objectives, Sporting's structure is trying to lower that same threshold to 18M. The fact that the player is convinced to move to Portugal may be an important point in this phase of the process. 😊

The same source also writes that Sporting will only give up on Ioannidis to occupy the spot left by Conrad Harder - who is moving to Milan -, if they are "forced" to, that is, if they cannot close the deal with the Athens emblem. If that happens, the lions will turn to other targets, such as Clayton, from Rio Ave.

Meanwhile, the negotiations for Ioannidis may end up being postponed until next Sunday, August 31. That's because, until then, Panathinaikos will face Samsunpor on Thursday (August 28) for the 2nd leg of the Europa League playoff. Sporting, on the other hand, is focused on preparing for the match against Porto, scheduled for Saturday, August 30.

In the last 2024/25 season, while serving Panathinaikos, Fotis Ioannidis - valued at 15 million euros - had numbers below expectations. In 42 games played, the forward scored 11 times and signed two assists. In the current season, he has four games without any contribution to a goal.
