On the eve of the derby, Porto set to swoop for Sporting target | OneFootball

With the Classic between Sporting and Porto looming, the dragons threaten to advance with a proposal to secure the signing of Fotis Ioannidis in this transfer market. He is the main target for the green and whites to replace Conrad Harder, who has everything lined up to head to Milan.

The information is being reported by SDNA, the Greek press, since last Tuesday, August 26th, with the assurance that the team led by André Villas-Boas intends to divert the player from the Alvalade Club and, for this, an offer is expected soon, although details about the values are not yet known.

All of this is happening during a stalemate between Sporting and Panathinaikos. The Greek club demands that the lions pay at least 22 million euros fixed for the Greek international, but, in turn, the Alvalade team does not want to go beyond 20M.

With so many issues surrounding the signing of Ioannidis, Sporting is not allowing Conrad Harder to travel to Milan, as they will only permit the young Dane's departure if they find a forward to replace him. The departure of the 'number 9' is thus frozen, but it could still happen.

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 four games without any goal contributions.
