Fotis Ioannidis is the strongest name on Sporting's list to fill the void left by Conrad Harder, if he leaves the Club

With the possible departure of Conrad Harder in this market, Sporting needs to act quickly to ensure that they fill the void left by the forward, and to do so, Fotis Ioannidis is once again on the radar of the Alvalade Club, after the lions had already attempted to negotiate with him, which became chaotic, with Panathinaikos.

According to information revealed by the newspaper A Bola, there are several forwards referenced by the green and white structure - such as Clayton, from Rio Ave. However, Ioannidis' name stands out due to the saga involving the striker and the lions in the last summer market.

At the time, Sporting made every effort to secure the signing of the Greek player from Panathinaikos, but the Athens emblem never facilitated negotiations and always asked for 25 million euros for the player's signing, which was seen as unbearable for the lions' coffers.

This time, the same source reveals that Ioannidis is seen as "the strongest candidate to move to Alvalade" when Harder's transfer is finalized, with Rennes and Milan both intensifying their intentions to sign the Danish player.

In the last 2024/25 season, while playing for Panathinaikos, Ioannidis - valued at 15 million euros - had below-expected numbers. In 42 games played, the forward scored 11 goals and provided two assists. Now, he can leave for a fee of 20 million euros.
