Ioannidis move nears, minor detail delays Sporting-Panathinaikos deal | OneFootball

Sporting and Panathinaikos resumed talks over Fotis Ioannidis. Despite the return to this negotiation process aimed at the Greek international's move from Athens to Lisbon going well, both parties still do not have an agreement in sight.

According to information provided by the newspaper Record, the percentage of a future sale of the Greek striker is the issue causing the negotiation deadlock. The club from the Greek capital wants 15% of any future transfer of their team captain, while Sporting's management is trying to lower that percentage.

Even though there is still no agreement for the transfer, the truth is that there have been advances in the last twenty-four hours. In fact, Panathinaikos has reportedly agreed to lower the percentage of a future sale of the 25-year-old forward to half, as they initially asked for 30% of a potential transfer at the start of this negotiation process with Sporting.

This delay in finalizing the details of the deal for the Greek forward has complicated matters for Conrad Harder. The 'number 9' of Sporting has everything set to move to Milan in search of more playing time, but the management of the Alvalade Club will only allow the young Dane to travel to Italy once they have secured his successor.

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