AEK Athens transfer activity

Entities: Ferencváros (Győr) · Györi ETO FC · Efraín Juárez · Milán Vítalis · Hungary national football team

Overview

In early July 2026, AEK Athens was reported to be close to signing Finnish midfielder Kaan Kairinen from Sparta Prague. By early August, the club’s focus shifted to Hungarian international Milán Vitális. Advanced talks with Hungarian champions Ferencváros (Győr) aimed to complete a €2.5 million deal in early August, but Vitális would be ineligible for the Champions League play‑offs because of previous appearances for Ferencváros. A recent dressing‑room incident at Győr involving Vitális and coach Efraín Houares prompted the Hungarian side to consider off‑loading him. AEK sporting director Marco Nicolits confirmed Vitális as the primary midfield target while the club also monitors left‑back Filip Kostis, underscoring a proactive summer recruitment drive.
