AEK Athens player transfer activity

Overview

AEK Athens has been involved in several player transfer negotiations. In late July 2026, the club reportedly sought to negotiate a loan return for forward Liberace from Spartak Moscow, while also reaching a definitive agreement with Wolfsburg for the €6 million transfer of Croatian midfielder Lovo Magere. During this period, striker Franjo Piérot indicated he was seeking a move to La Liga rather than staying with AEK.

By mid-August 2026, negotiations regarding the departure of Swedish-Brazilian attacker Niclas Eliasson reached an advanced stage. Internacional submitted a formal proposal for a one-year loan including a €300,000 fee, payable in three installments between September 2026 and June 2027. The deal includes a purchase option valued between €2.5 million and €3 million, to be paid in four installments between 2027 and 2029, with the initial loan fees deducted from the final price if the option is exercised.

As of August 15, 2026, Eliasson has arrived at Salgado Filho Airport in Porto Alegre to undergo medical and physical examinations to finalize the move. While he is expected to be available for upcoming fixtures such as the match against Atlético Mineiro, reports suggest he may not be ready in time for Internacional’s Copa do Brasil matches against rivals in the Gre-Nais derbies. Due to the advanced nature of these negotiations, Eliasson was excluded from AEK’s Champions League squad list. If medical tests are successful, the 30-year-old winger is expected to debut for Internacional as early as August 22. Eliasson leaves AEK after four years, during which he made 134 appearances, scoring 13 goals and providing 30 assists while winning two league titles and one cup.
