Dimitris Giannoulis, a 30-year-old Greek left-back, is considering a return to Greece. Information is circulating that people in his close circle believe this is the right time for him to return to the Greek league. Panathinaikos considers Giannoulis a main option to partner with Kyriakopoulos. He is also considered a potential option for other major Greek teams, such as Olympiacos and PAOK. At PAOK, his history with the club is considered an advantage. Giannoulis's current club, Augsburg, which he joined in July 2024, is reportedly not opposed to his departure if the financial compensation is close to the 5 million euros the club requested in January. It is thought that this asking price could decrease to 3 million euros in the summer. Giannoulis's contract with the German club runs until the summer of 2028, a factor that complicates potential negotiations. The Greek international has 33 caps and has made 19 appearances in the Bundesliga this season, scoring 2 goals and providing 3 assists. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €3.00m. He previously moved from PAOK to Norwich City in July 2021 for a reported fee of €7.5 million.
