According to Kostas Ketsetzoglou, speaking on bwinΣΠΟΡ FM 94.6, AEK might also be interested in 23-year-old Greek forward Pavlos Pantelidis from Kifisia, alongside his teammate Andreas Tetei. Ketsetzoglou mentioned that AEK nearly signed Pantelidis last year for their second team. He added that there is talk of a package deal for both players, with various potential fees being discussed, including some over €2.5 million, and he anticipates the total sum will be quite large. A factor in the negotiations could be whether the purchasing club would loan the players back to Kifisia for the rest of the season. Pantelidis has a contract with Kifisia until 2027 and a current market value of €250k, according to Transfermarkt.
