Hull City sold 19-year-old Albanian U21 international midfielder Aidon Shehu to Panathinaikos before the Profit and Sustainability Regulations (PSR) deadline to avoid a potential Premier League points deduction. The sale of the player, who has 10 caps for his country and whose contract was set to expire on June 30, 2026, helped eliminate an estimated £6 million overspend from Hull City's Championship accounts. The transfer fee was reported in July 2026 as £2.5 million.
