It has been a very busy January transfer window for a lot of Greek Super League clubs.
The winter transfer window in Greece officially closed on Friday, February 6, though free agents are allowed to be signed until February 16.
Olympiacos have strengthened ahead of their UEFA Champions League knockout play-off against Bayer Leverkusen.
AEK and PAOK have both added new signings to their squad as the Super League title race hots up.
Panathinaikos will hope their business can help them overtake Levadiakos and end the regular season in the top four.
At the other end of the table, AEL, Panetolikos, Kifisia and Atromitos have all brought in fresh talent this winter window in an attempt to stave off relegation to the Super League 2.
Here is a list of all the incoming and outgoing signings for each Greek Super League club in January, and an evaluation for every team – what have they fixed and what are they still missing?
AEK
In
- Barnabas Varga (CF) – Ferencvaros – β¬4.50m
- Hakim Sahabo (CM) – Standard Liege – β¬1.50m
- Martin Georgiev (CB) – Slavia Sofia – β¬2.00m
Out
- Moses Odubajo (RB) – Omonia Nicosia – free
- Gerasimos Mitoglou (CB) – Atromitos – free
- Dimitrios Goumas (GK) – Egaleo – free
- Frantzdy Pierrot (CF) – Rizespor – loan
- Christoforos Kolimatsis (CM) – Ellas Syrou – loan
- Konstantinos Crysopoulos (CB) – Mantova – loan
This feels like very sensible business from AEK.
The major worry heading into the business end of the season was their depth at centre-forward. Luka Jovic was burning slowly at the start of the campaign, but the Serbian has exploded spectacularly since scoring a hat-trick against Panathinaikos at the end of November. Jovic has 12 goals in his last nine appearances.
However, his injury history is alarming to say the least. Zini has severely struggled for fitness this campaign too, while Frantzdy Pierrot clearly did not possess the sort of quality required for a title push.
Step in Barnabas Varga, who already has 21 goals to his name this term. The Hungarian striker may be the wrong side of 30, but prolific does not begin to describe his record at UEFA Europa League regulars Ferencvaros. Varga netted 70 times and posted 22 assists in 113 appearances for the Greens, working out at a goal every 87 minutes.
Martin Georgiev is a decent pick-up in light of Gerasimos Mitoglou and Konstantinos Crysopoulos’ departures, and Domagoj Vida’s age. The 20-year-old was an ever-present for an admittedly poor Slavia Sofia side last season and is certainly one for the future. Likewise, 20-year-old Hakim Sahabo adds depth and youth to an ageing midfield.
The only slight concern is at right-back after Moses Odubajo’s move to Omonia Nicosia. Lazaros Rota is no stranger to minor knocks and he remains AEK’s only natural option in that position.
AEL
In
- Julien Ngoy (CF) – Al-Arabi – free
- Pione Sisto (LW) – Aris – free
- Goni Naor (CM) – Maccabi Haifa – loan
- David Kristjan Olafsson (L(W)B) – Cracovia – free
- Yvann Macon (RB/LB) – Saint-Etienne – loan
- Dylan Batubinsika (CB) – Saint-Etienne – free
Out
- Amr Warda (LW) – Iraklis – free
- Emanuel Vignato (RW) – Pisa – end of loan
- Manolis Pavlis (FW) – released
- Brayan Palmezano (CAM/RW) – released
- Vasilios Varsamis (CM) – Olympiacos B – β¬200k
- Bojan Kovacevic (LB) – Radnicki 1923 – free
- Panagiotis Deligiannidis (RB) – Asteras Tripolis – free
- Soufiane Chakla (CB) – Iraklis – free
- Petros Bagalianis (CB) – Alemannia Aachen – free
- King Faisal (RW/LW) – Egaleo – loan
When AEL took a sledgehammer to their invincible, second-tier-conquering squad in the summer, there was always the danger that so many new faces would fail to gel and they would end up in exactly the position they found themselves at the turn of the year. Winter has seen that strategy employed once more.
The arrival of Savvas Pantelidis – their fourth manager since May 2025 – has brought an upturn in results and, for their two most recent wins, a change to three at the back. It makes sense then that full-backs Panagiotis Deligiannidis and Bojan Kovacevic have been swapped out for Yvann Macon and David Kristjan Olafsson, both of whom have ample experience as wing-backs.
Macon’s former colleague at Saint-Etienne, Dylan Batubinsika, looks a good signing to bolster centre-back ranks.
But then why get rid of both Sofian Chakla and Petros Bagalianis? The former was admittedly below par, but the Moroccan had more minutes than any other defender at the club this season, while the latter was a decent break-glass option. Four central defenders does not seem sufficient for a three-at-the-back system, especially given the injuries that have plagued Theocharis Iliadis, Erick Ferigra and Epaminondas Pantelakis already this term.
Julien Ngoy has never been prolific, scoring three goals total in his last two and a half campaigns. Pione Sisto doesn’t move me, but Larissa appear to be moving in the right direction under Pantelidis and should have enough to stay up, regardless of their attacking reinforcements.
Good riddance to Amr Warda.
Aris
In
- Christian Kouame (CF) – Fiorentina – undisclosed
- Othmane Boussaid (LW/RW) – Al-Nasr – free
- Benjamin Garre (LW/RW) – Vasco da Gama – loan
- Martin Hongla (CM) – Granada – loan
- Marko Kerkez (LB) – Fortuna Sittard – free
Out
- Olimpiu Morutan (CAM/RW) – FC Rapid 1923 – free
- Pione Sisto (LW) – released
- Monchu (CM) – FC Juarez – loan
For once, Aris have had a quiet window, by their standards at least.
The big headline is the departure on loan of Monchu, by some distance Aris’ best peformer since his arrival in 2024. His supposed replacement, Martin Hongla, is a far cry from the Spanish playmaker, though I’m sure he has the ability to keep the team ticking over defensively.
Othmane Boussaid has plenty of experience at a decent level with Utrecht, but has never really set a season alight. Benjamin Garre’s value has been plummetting for a few years amid a spate of injuries – the Argentinian winger hasn’t scored a single goal since October 2024 and hardly featured for Vasco da Gama in 2025. The same criticism can be levelled at Christian Kouame, who netted just 11 goals in 155 appearances for Fiorentina.
Marko Kerkez returns for a second spell, which can hardly be less impressive than his first, which totalled a single 19-minute subsitute cameo. The older brother of Milos Kerkez has been drafted in with Hamza Mendyl’s long-term injury causing a mini-crisis at left-back.
By the looks of things, Aris have given up any lingering hopes of breaking into the top four. What’s strange is that, in light of Panathinaikos’ ongoing struggles, they haven’t tried harder to improve their wing and attacking midfield options to mount a serious challenge for fifth place.
Asteras Tripolis
In
- Stefan Mitrovic (LW) – Hellas Verona – loan
- Panagiotis Deligiannidis (RB) – AEL – free
Out
- Dani Fernandez (RB) – KS Samara – free
For a team that is currently sitting in the dreaded drop zone, this is surprisingly light work.
I can’t argue with swapping Dani Fernandez for Panagiotis Deligiannidis, who was excellent for Panserraikos before his move to AEL.
Winger Stefan Mitrovic was tearing up the Serbian Super Liga as a youngster, but his career somewhat stalled once he moved to Hellas Verona. Extra firepower is always useful I suppose, but the Arcadians already have decent options there in Kalvin Ketu, Julian Bartolo, Nikos Kaltsas and Dimitris Emmanouilidis.
What they lack is adequate competition for 34-year-old Federico Macheda up front. The Italian is winding down his career, while Nicholas Gioacchini and Georgios Charalampoglou are poor and unproven respectively.
Despite this, I trust that Milan Rastavac has sufficient resources to steer a well-rounded squad to safety in his third spell at the club. Anything else would be an unmitigated failure of management.
Atromitos
In
- Steven Zuber (LW/CAM/CF) – FC Zurich – free
- Stavros Pnevmonidis (CAM/LW) – Olympiacos – loan
- Ehije Ukaki (RW) – Sheffield United – loan
- Gerasimos Mitoglou (CB) – AEK – free
- Luka Gugeshashvili (GK) – PAOK – loan
Out
- Ognjen Ozegovic (CF) – Levadiakos – free
- Aitor Garcia (LW/RW) – Recreativo Huelva – free
- Brayan Palmezano (CAM/RW) – released
Atromitos’ relegation chances are on a knife edge.
If they stay up, Steven Zuber will surely have made a huge difference. The Swiss international brings immediate energy and league-proven quality to attacking midfield, even if he is far from a long-term solution.
Atromitos have struggled to score goals, an illness also afflicting relegation rivals Asteras, Larissa and Panetolikos. The Athenian club’s faith in rookie Greek striker Panagiotis Tsantilas is equally as pleasing as it is baffling. Just as mystifying is the departure of the vastly experienced Ognjen Ozegovic, leaving 35-year-old Tom van Weert as their only other option up front.
Having said all that, Gerasimos Mitoglou is a shrewd pick-up, as is Luka Gugeshashvili, both far too good to be bench-warmers.
Plus, Ehije Ukaki could offer goals if he can get up to speed. The 21-year-old winger netted seven times for Botev Plovdiv last season, two more than any Atromitos player managed in the same period.
Stavros Pnevmonidis had fallen victim to Olympiacos’ own transfer splurge and hopefully the 19-year-old will be given the same trust afforded to his fellow young Greeks at Atromitos: Tsantilas, Mattheos Mountes, Athanasios Karamanis and Georgios Papadopoulos.
Kifisia
In
- Dimitrios Theodoridis (CF) – De Graafschap – β¬150k
- Patrik Mijic (CF) – TSV Hartberg – loan
- Miguel Tavares (LW) – Panathinaikos – loan
- Che Nunnely (RW) – Panserraikos – undisclosed
- Benny (CAM/LW) – Moreirense – free
- Cheick Oumar Konate (RB) – Clermont Foot – loan
- Apostolos Tsilingiris (GK) – Ilioupolis – free
Out
- Andreas Tetteh (CF/LW) – Panathinaikos – β¬2.20m
- Pavlos Pantelidis (RW/LW) – Kifisia – β¬800k
- Jorge Diaz (C(A)M) – Panionios – free
- Panagiotis Tzimas (LW) – Iraklis – loan
- Manolis Smpokos (RB) – Ilioupolis – loan
- Matias Esquivel (CM) – Mamelodi Sundowns – end of loan
Kifisia’s January has been defined not by who they brought in, but who they were forced to let go.
It is hard to overstate the importance of Andreas Tetteh and Pavlos Pantelidis to Sebastian Leto’s team on their return to the Super League. The Greek pair were responsible for 50% of Kifisia’s goals – 11 of 22 – before they made the simultaneous switch to Panathinaikos.
Since then, a disappointing draw to AEL and a dismal defeat to rock-bottom Panserraikos preceded an exceptionally one-sided 3-0 reverse at the hands of Tetteh and Pantelidis’ new club. Suddenly, being dragged into a five-way battle to beat the drop is a harsh reality.
Dimitrios Theodoridis, a 23-year-old former AEK B striker, has been boldly handed the No.9 shirt. But his lightweight experience in the Dutch second division with De Graafschap suggests he is likely not be an adequate replacement for Greece international Tetteh. Kifisia clearly do not trust summer signing Sebastian Musiolik, and so hopes must rest on loanee Patrik Mijic replicating his promising record in the Austrian and Slovenian top flight.
Elsewhere, wingers Che Nunnely, Miguel Tavares and Benny are underwhelming signings in truth. But the balance of probability means at least one should be a semi-success at the very least.
Cheick Oumar Konate at right-back is a surprisingly good coup. The problem is that defence was emphatically not the priority in January.
I’m seriously worried for the league’s new boys.
Levadiakos
In
- Ognjen Ozegovic (CF) – Atromitos – free
- Christos Papadopoulos (CAM) – Genoa – undisclosed
- Georgios Nikas (C(A)M) – Panathinaikos – free
- Georgios Kornezos (CB) – Banik Ostrava – free
Out
- Aaron Tshibola (CM) – Kilmarnock – free
- Renild Kasemi (CM) – PAS Giannina – free
- Konstantinos Plegas (CM) – Niki Volou – free
- Steven Havales (CB) – PAS Giannina – free
- Georgios Katris (CB) – Panathinaikos – end of loan
- Ramiro Macagno (GK) – Independiente Rivadavia – loan
With Levadiakos flying high and seeming set for a historic top-four finish, this January was all about tweaks and keeps.
Pleasingly, APOL kept every single one of their sought-after stars and their tweaks make a ton of sense too.
Ozegovic has proven firepower at this level and thus provides reliable plug-and-go back-up to the supremely in-form Alen Ozbolt. Georgios Kornezos may not be the most flashy of centre-backs, but the Greek has plenty of Super League experience and surely won’t be needed unless a targeted injury crisis strikes.
In addition, highly-rated prospect Christos Papadopoulos supplements an already-brimming attacking roster. The 21-year-old is certainly one for the future, and could already be in line for regular rotation with Guillermo Balzi set to return to his parent club in the summer.
Finally, Georgios Nikas has returned home after failing to make an impact in his one and a half seasons at Panathinaikos. If the rest of Levadiakos’ academy graduates are anything to go by, Nikas should thrive in this tight-knit, well-drilled group of overachievers.
OFI
In
- Aaron Leya Iseka (CF) – unattached (CSKA Sofia) – free
- Thiago Romano (RW) – Internazionale U20 – free
- Georgios Kanellopoulos (CM) – HJK Helsinki – free
- Nikolaos Athanasiou (LB) – Olympiacos – loan
- Achilleas Poungouras (CB) – unattached (Sivasspor) – free
Out
- Franco Zanelatto (RW/LW) – FBC Melgar – free
- Kevin Lewis (LB) – Liverpool FC (Uruguay) – free
- Marko Rakonjac (CF) – Hapoel Jerusalem – loan
- Manolis Faitakis (CAM) – Egaleo – loan
OFI’s soaring improvement under Christos Kontis has completely changed the complexion on their January business.
Four wins in their last six league matches – plus their shock inclusion in the Greek Cup semi-finals – means the Cretans have plenty to play for as winter turns to spring. Fifth place is no longer a preposterous possibility, especially considering the red-hot form of Thiago Nuss and Eddie Salcedo.
But a mid-season switch to 3-4-3 calls for specialist reinforcements, hence the signings of Achilleas Poungouras as a fifth senior centre-back, and Nikolaos Athansiou who has been impressing at LWB for Rio Ave this term.
Aaron Leya Iseka had a decent goals-to-game ratio in his first spell at OFI and has already netted the same number Marko Rakonjac – the second-choice striker he is replacing – managed in the whole of his ineffective five-month stint.
There was a time when Thiago Romano was The Next Big Thing coming through Panathinaikos’ academy. The teenage winger subsequently failed to break into Inter’s first-team and it will be intriguing to see what the Argentinian can offer on his return to the island where he was raised.
But I’m most excited by the arrival of Georgios Kanellopoulos, who will hope to push fellow Greek centre-mids Athanasios Androutsos, Zisis Karachalios and Giannis Apostolakis for a starting spot. The former Asteras Tripolis youngster won the Finnish league and cup in a very successful three-year stay at HJK Helsinki, during which he was also named the club’s Player of the Season for 2024.
OFI have kept it simple, but I’m quietly impressed by all of their moves.
Olympiacos
In
- Clayton (CF) – Rio Ave – β¬5.00m
- Andre Luiz (RW/CF) – Rio Ave – β¬2.20m
Out
- Pep Biel (CAM) – Charlotte – β¬3.50m
- Roman Yaremchuk (CF) – Lyon – loan
- Gabriel Strefezza (RW) – Parma – loan
- Remy Cabella (FW) – Nantes – loan
- Nikolaos Athanasiou (LB) – OFI – loan
- Gustavo Mancha (CB) – Rio Ave – loan
UEFA Champions League knockout football is returning to Piraeus for the first time in 12 years.
In preparation, Olympiacos have raided sister club Rio Ave for their best and brightest, while letting some dead wood drift in the process.
Brazilian duo Clayton and Andre Luiz were Rio Ave’s standout performers this season, with their combined 17 goals a whopping 77% of the team’s total output. Both were on course for their most productive campaigns of their respective careers and constitute heavy-duty additions to a squad already fizzing with attacking verve.
Striker Clayton seems a top quality alternative to Ayoub El Kaabi, and the 27-year-old is certainly a better option than the departed Roman Yaremchuk, having scored 28 goals in all competitions for the Portuguese side since his move from Vasco da Gama one and a half years ago.
Likewise, Luiz has joined as a younger back-up to Gelson Martins after Gabriel Strefezza failed to make the grade. Seven goals and six assists in less than five months is a healthy return for a 23-year-old only expected to improve.
Bayer Leverkusen and the rest of the Super League will undoubtedly face a stronger Olympiacos in the second half of the season.
Panathinaikos
In
- Andreas Tetteh (CF/LW) – Kifisia – β¬2.20m
- Santino Andino (LW) – Godoy Cruz – β¬6.45m
- Pavlos Pantelidis (RW/LW) – Kifisia – β¬800k
- Adriano Jagusic (CAM/RW) – Slaven Belupo – β¬5.20m
- Sotiris Kontouris (CM) – Panetolikos – β¬600k
- Moussa Sissoko (CM) – Watford – undisclosed
- Javi Hernandez (LB) – Leganes – loan
- Georgios Katris (CB) – Levadiakos – recalled
- Lucas Chaves (GK) – Argentinos Jrs. (Panetolikos) – loan
Out
- Alexander Jeremejeff (CF) – PAOK – free
- Tete (RW) – Gremio – β¬6.20m
- Daniel Mancini (RW) – APOEL – free
- Adriano Bregou (CAM) – Panetolikos – free
- Georgios Nikas (C(A)M) – Levadiakos – free
- Filip Mladenovic (LB) – Karagumruk – undisclosed
- Elton Fikaj (LB) – Piast Gliwice – free
- Philipp Max (LB) – released
- Bartlomiej Dragowski (GK) – Widzew Lodz – β¬300k
- Miguel Tavares (LW) – Kifisia – loan
My word, where to begin?
No club has signed more players than Panathinaikos this winter, but I would be lying if I claimed an overhaul wasn’t needed.
To start with, goals have been the major issue for the Greens since the start of last season and losing first-choice right winger Tete is unideal to say the least.
Thankfully, 23-year-old Pavlos Pantelidis has been outshining the Brazilian by several hundred lumens this term and big money has been splashed on promising talent Santino Andino to boost the other flank. I don’t expect the Argentina youth international to pull up any trees straightaway, but perhaps building a sustainable future should be the priority anyway with top four steadily slipping from the club’s grasp.
To this end, Andreas Tetteh is the right side of 25 and may now finally be ready for the big move his early career in the second-tier always promised. Meanwhile, I’m a huge fan of bringing in 20-year-old Sotiris Kontouris – let’s just hope he gets the game time his talent clearly deserves.
A deadline day move for Adriano Jagusic falls into the same category as those above. The 20-year-old is considered one of Croatia’s most exciting rising stars and has been motoring this season with seven goals and six assists from attacking midfield.
Kontouris’ former Panetolikos colleague Lucas Chaves has been one of the best goalkeepers in the Super League for some time, and left-back Javi Hernandez was a regular starter in La Liga for Cadiz and Leganes.
I have enormous respect for the club’s forward-thinking approach this January, which makes the signing of 36-year-old Moussa Sissoko completely bewildering.
Panathinaikos will almost certainly not claw back the gap on Levadiakos and I think they recognise this. These are transfers with next season in mind.
Panetolikos
In
- Youssouph Badji (CF) – Aarhus – loan
- Juan Manuel Garcia (CF) – Newell’s Old Boys – free
- Farley Rosa – (LW/RW/CAM) – Guangdong GZ-Power – free
- Lenny Lobato (LW/RW) – Velez Sarsfield – β¬93k
- Adriano Bregou (CAM) – Panathinaikos – free
- Giannis Satsias (CM) – APOEL – β¬100k
- Gustav Granath (CB) – Hamarkameratene – free
- Yevgeniy Kucherenko (GK) – Dundee United – β¬250k
Out
- Beni Nkololo (RW) – BJ Guoan – undisclosed
- Sotiris Kontouris (CM) – Panathinaikos – β¬600k
- Lucas Chaves (GK) – Argentinos Jrs. (Panathinaikos) – end of loan
I really hope Panetolikos haven’t panicked here.
The Canaries are currently on a catastrophic run of form, which has seen them lose six successive Super League matches, scoring just once as their slide towards the drop gathers alarming momentum.
Losing top scorer Beni Nkololo, top talent Sotiris Kontouris and top keeper Lucas Chaves is a recipe for disaster whichever way you cut it. What’s worse is I’m not sure they’ve come close to replacing them sufficiently.
Former Dundee United stopper Yevgeniy Kucherenko is error prone, Giannis Satsias was never a regular starter in an under-par APOEL side, and who has any idea how their five attacking recruits will fare?
At 19, Adriano Bregou is far from the finished article, Farley Rosa was prolific (in the Chinese second division), Lenny Lobato hasn’t been prolific anywhere, Juan Manuel Garcia isn’t getting any younger, and Youssouph Badji’s best goal haul in a single season is five.
It’s not looking good for the Agriniotes. Time for a reversion to three at the back?
Panserraikos
In
- Adrian Riera (LW/CAM) – Akritas Chlorakas – free
- Darnell Eric Bile (LW) – unattached (Asteras Tripolis) – free
- Georgios Marinos (RW) – unattached (Panserraikos) free
- Alex Teixeira (CAM/FW) – unattached (Vasco da Gama) – free
- Manolis Pavlis (FW) – AEL – free
- Samir Ben Sallam (CM) – unattached (AS Trencin) – free
- Riquelme (LB) – Vasco da Gama – loan
Out
- Aleksa Maras (CF) – Botev Plovdiv – end of loan
- Miguel Fale (RW/LW/CF) – Pacos Ferreira – free
- Andre Green (LW) – Avs FS – free
- Che Nunnely (RW) – Kifisia – undisclosed
- Zidane Banjaqui (CAM/LW) – Ararat-Armenia – free
- Matthew Guillaumier (CM) – Hamrun Spartans – free
- Asteris Konstantinidis (CM) – Olympiacos U17 – undisclosed
- Filippos Dimitriadis (LB) – Nestos Chrysoupolis – free
- Jean-Baptiste Leo (CF) – Niki Volou – loan
Panserraikos are relegated and they know it.
Their January business reeks of a club that are already preparing for life in the Super League 2.
Eight of the Liontaria’s summer signings have left, with cheaper alternatives procured in the form of unattached free agents, including Georgios Marinos who Panserraikos themselves released in September.
It’s ironic that the radical transfer strategy that has got them into this mess is the same one they’re using to prepare for relegation. In a way, I respect it: Sign as many players as you can, release all that don’t work, rinse and repeat. The problem is that none of their summer signings worked.
It is anyone’s guess how many of their winter signings will still be there come the autumn.
PAOK
In
- Alexander Jeremejeff (CF) – Panathinaikos – free
- Christos Zafeiris (CM) – Slavia Praha – end of loan
- Jorge Sanchez (RB) – Cruz Azul – β¬2.50m
Out
- Fedor Chalov (CF) – Kayserispor – loan
- Luka Gugeshashvili (GK) – Atromitos – loan
Perhaps the best newcomer to the Super League this January was actually signed last August.
Christos Zafeiris is a fully-fledged Greek international, arriving in the country of his birth at the start of what promises to be a glittering career. On paper, it is the perfect signing in many ways. With Soualiho Meite approaching 32 and Magomed Ozdoyev already 33, Zafeiris will offer fresh energy to PAOK for years to come. What’s more, he will be playing behind Greece team-mate Giannis Konstantelias, who was born just 10 days after the ex-Slavia Prague midfielder. Thus, this is a transfer that will surely benefit the national team too.
The emergence of Anestis Mythou as PAOK’s next world-beating wonderkid means that Alexander Jeremejeff is an adequate third-choice option, well-acquainted with both the league and a back-up brief. The Swede’s goals-to-minutes ratio has always been of the highest order.
Lastly, Jorge Sanchez is a versatile full-back, capable of covering left-back if required and has a wide breadth of experience at Ajax, Porto and in Liga MX.
I might have liked to see replacements for the ageing Taison and Dejan Lovren arrive in preparation for next season. But with PAOK matching AEK and Olympiacos in the transfer window, the end of this season promises to be yet another thrilling blockbuster.
Volos
In
- Jan Hurtado (CF) – Gimnasia – free
- Matias Gonzalez (CAM/RW) – Banfield – free
- Leroy Abanda (LB) – Le Mans – free
- Derek Agyakwa (CB) – Iberia 1999 – free
Out
- Said Hamulic (CF) – Toulouse – end of loan
- Panagiotis Santis (CF) – Olympiacos B – undisclosed
- Jasin Assehnoun (LW) – Omonia Aradippou – free
- Oscar Pinchi (RW/LW) – released
- Antonio Zarzana (RW) – Olympiacos B – free
- Georgios Prountzos (CM) – Iraklis – free
- Marios Sinanaj (LB/CB) – released
- Georgios Lagonidis (CB) – released
- Adebayo Adeleye (GK) – Enosis Neon Paralimniou – free
Call me crazy, but this looks like managed decline from Achilleas Beos.
It’s as if he saw Volos were in no danger of relegation and decided to pull the plug.
The termination of first-choice striker Said Hamulic’s loan is nothing short of bizarre when you consider the Bosnian had eight goals and three assists in all competitions. Oscar Pinchi wasn’t exactly their star man, but why get rid of a useful first subsitute? Jan Hurtado and Matias Gonzalez are definite downgrades.
I don’t mind the additions of two-time Georgian champion Derek Agyakwa and former OFI left-back Leroy Abanda.
But it all feels like a cost-cutting exercise. Volos have lost five of their last six matches and these transfers are unlikely to arrest their ongoing slide.
