Manolis Siopis transfer saga

Entities: Unnamed Turkish Super Lig club · Manolis Siopis · Panathinaikos FC

Overview

In late July 2026, Cypriot side APOEL announced a preliminary agreement to sign Serbian midfielder Filip Đuričić and indicated interest in acquiring Greek defender Manolis Siopis on a reduced‑wage, two‑year deal. At that time Siopis was listed as unavailable for Panathinaikos’ match and was reportedly seeking a new contract.

A few days later, the situation shifted when Panathinaikos confirmed that Siopis would leave the club on a free transfer to join a Turkish Süper Lig team. The move, described as a “homecoming” given his prior spells at Alanyaspor and Trabzonspor, was finalized within hours and meant to free up a significant portion of Panathinaikos’ wage bill. The club also announced the simultaneous departure of defender Tin Gentvay.
