Panagiotis Kikianis attracts interest from AEK Athens and Lecce

European football clubs AEK Athens and Lecce are reportedly monitoring 21-year-old Adelaide United defender Panagiotis Kikianis. The Greek-Australian centre-back has drawn interest due to his physical presence, aerial ability, and positional awareness.

Kikianis is currently under a long-term contract with Adelaide United until June 2029. While no formal bids or negotiations have been submitted, Adelaide United is reportedly open to discussions if financial conditions are met. The club is expected to seek a transfer fee between €2 million and €3 million, though his current market valuation is estimated at approximately €1.3 million.

A former youth prospect for Adelaide United, Kikianis has represented Australia at the youth level, including participating in the 2025 AFC Under-20 Asian Cup and the Under-20 World Cup.
