Giorgos Tsakiris clarified that there are no developments concerning Dimitris Giannoulis and that AEK will look for a left-back only if one of the current players departs.

AEK Athens has made a move for Dimitris Giannoulis, a 30-year-old Greek left-back. The move is based on reporting and comes despite recent information suggesting the player was close to joining PAOK with a verbal agreement. The Iliopoulos side at AEK is reportedly prepared to offer more money to Augsburg for the player, who is under contract until 2028. According to sources in Germany, the German club could ask for a fee of around 5 million euros for Giannoulis. He has indicated he would not be against a move. The situation could become a major Greek transfer story of the summer if Marios Iliopoulos decides to financially pressure Augsburg. Giannoulis joined FC Augsburg in July 2024.
