In the summer, the 26-year-old German-Greek central defender was very determined to leave the club. In the meantime, he has changed his agent and is performing on the field. It is expected that Papadopoulos will remain in Ticino until the summer. Sporting director Sebastian Pelzer says that no offers have been received so far. Papadopoulos joined FC Lugano in July 2024, and his contract is valid until June 2027. This season in the Super League, he has scored 3 goals in 17 appearances. His current market value is listed as €3.50m by Transfermarkt. He has previously been linked with clubs such as Beşiktaş and Legia Warszawa.
