Greek striker Ioannidis, who is a target for Sporting, has been forced to leave Panathinaikos because he fears the club’s high demands could see him break his lifetime contract and move to a more competitive league.
The fact that the player’s transfer is divided (Pana and Levadiakos each own 50 percent) causes problems in the negotiations, since both clubs intend to make a significant financial contribution. Panathinaikos, according to the Greek press, have already rejected an offer from Ipswich for 22.5 million euros. A situation that worries the player. The English team left, as did Sporting and Bologna.
With no interested parties, the 24-year-old Greek striker is concerned about losing a big contract to a club with a different reputation. This is where Sporting come in, giving them the opportunity to challenge for titles and play in the Champions League. However, the Lions remain firm in their offer of €18 million plus €2 million for targets.
