Dimitris Giannoulis, a 30-year-old Greek international, is considering a return to Greece, and people close to him believe it may be the right time for him to play in the Greek league again. His club, Augsburg, is open to his departure, and the German club requested approximately 5 million euros for him in January, a price that could potentially drop to 3 million euros in the summer.

Olympiacos is one of the interested clubs and might view him as the Greek left-back they require, particularly if they are playing in the Champions League. Other major Greek teams are also seeking a left-back. Panathinaikos views him as a primary option, and PAOK is considering him as a player who could share responsibilities with Baba Rahman, with his previous time at the club considered an advantage. Giannoulis's contract with Augsburg is valid until the summer of 2028. He joined Augsburg in July 2024 and has 33 caps for Greece. In the current Bundesliga season, he has made 19 appearances, scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists. His market value is €3.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
