Nikos Christogeorgos came close to returning to Panathinaikos. According to information from the player's side attributed to 'Kotsolis', Nistrup preferred Chavez.

Nikos Christogeorgos was discussed as a potential option at Panathinaikos in the previous June because of his performance at OFI and because he is considered homegrown for UEFA lists. Ultimately, Panathinaikos kept Lucas Chavez on a new loan from Argentinos Juniors, and Christogeorgos preferred to stay at OFI. If OFI receives an official offer for Nikos Christogeorgos, they are required to inform Panathinaikos, who have the right to match the offer and acquire him if both parties agree.

Panathinaikos has a resale percentage for the 26-year-old Greek goalkeeper Nikos Christogeorgos and also retains the right to match any offer if they wish to re-sign him from his current club, OFI. The goalkeeper has recently been linked with AEK following his performances against them. It is reported that a potential move would require AEK to first offload one of their current goalkeepers, Strakosha or Brignoli. Christogeorgos, who joined OFI in January 2023, has a contract until 2028. His current market value on Transfermarkt is €800k. He has made 10 appearances in the Super League 1 this season and has one cap for the Greece U21 team.
