Elton Fikaj is expected to leave Panathinaikos, as the club has reached a full agreement with Polish side Gornik Zabrze for his transfer. Fikaj has said goodbye to his teammates at Koropi. His contract was valid until 2028, but the Panathinaikos management decided the player did not have a future at the club and agreed to the move. Panathinaikos will retain a 20% share of Fikaj's rights.

Elton Fikaj is reportedly not in the plans of Spanish coach Rafa Benitez. The Albanian defender is said to have been offered to AEL, as Savvas Pantelidis is considering a player with his characteristics. According to the latest information, AEL is not proceeding with an agreement for Fikaj at this time, as the player is not considered the ideal solution for the defensive issues Pantelidis wants to address.
