Dozens of Greek immigrants will soon be freed

Dozens of Greek immigrants will soon be freed

Bakasetas, Giannoulis, Baldock, Manolas, Limnios, Lekogiannis, Papastathopoulos, Chatzigiovannis, Kitsio, Katranis will all be free to sign for the team of their choice in the new year to continue their careers from next summer. As the scenario unfolds and keeping in mind that everything changes at any time in such situations, SPORT24 captures the flow, intentions and situations at a given moment.

Nothing can be deducted and no one can deduct from the first ten days of December what may (and will apply) at the end of June.

With this in mind, an initial and completely authentic recording of the situation and intentions of dozens of Greek immigrants is attempted, who, on New Year’s Day 2024, will all enter the last semester of their current contract and will thus be free to negotiate the next phase of their careers.

Since the scenario that many of them associate with repatriation already exists, regardless of whether it is proven or not, and the data is early and constantly thickening, even such a record is useful.

Whether it be a reminder of the data, exactly in the first ten days of December, without anything being valid now in any way, or bindingly valid as the year changes, or – even more so – in view of the coming summer.

Let’s look at each case separately.

Thassos Pacasitas

Since last summer Sport24 He accurately described what was happening with the captain of the national team and what would happen.

Trabzonspor made him successive offers to extend his contract, raising his income to more than 1.8 million euros, but Baka still kept the door closed, refusing to agree.

His expectation, his eternal goal, is to move to a major European league. For this reason, he changed his representative, seeking to regain his way in recent years by moving to one of the five best leagues in Europe, without the financial aspect – in such a perspective – being the primary concern of the 30 countries. Year-old midfielder.

That is why returning home, at the appointed moment and with the horizon of next summer, is not among his priorities.

This effort to continue in the Premier League is groundbreaking. He is willing to exhaust all possibilities.

Dimitris Giannoulis

On January 18, he completed three years at Carrow Road. With ups and downs, with a taste for – but also less time to participate in this period – the English Premier League, different influences and prospects from clubs outside England, with great financial temptation (more).

He has remained a ‘canary’, turning this into the most mature season at Old Albion.

Norwich are on track to claim the Championship play-offs. Given her intention to keep Demi on the roster, it’s unknown and uncertain whether she can, and whether she will – depending on where she finds herself at the end of the season.

For his part, the international left-back knows that at Championship level he has… as many options as he wants (always on the condition that he does not stay at Norwich), while at the same time his tenure on the island is such that he can demand earnings of more than double his current and important role in one of Major European leagues.

The first (financial) and the second (racing) data trumps anything relevant that can be provided to him within the boundaries.

The possibility of a return is always there, but at 28 years old and with three years of competition ahead of him, it is on the options table for Giannulli to warrant, and has been postponed until later.

George Baldock

In the case of the 30-year-old expatriate right-back, we are not talking about the possibility of returning home, but simply about coming to his ancestral homeland.

Baldock’s long and consistent spell in England’s ‘minor’ categories During his seven years at Sheffield United, he made three Premier League appearances, playing a key role.

It was the same this year, at least until his recent injury against Burnley. The ‘Blades’ are lagging behind and are expected to fight for survival, the coach has recently changed and it is clear that everything will play a role in whether they want to propose a new contract for the international winger.

Whether he does or not, his CV enables him to find a team… to enjoy at Old Albion, but even if he doesn’t, to capitalize on his busy spell in England by staying at the top level and beyond. English Channel.

The possibility of Stoiximan continuing in the Premier League cannot be ruled out – especially considering the financial aspect, as his contract at Sheffield is not that high – but at the moment, it does not appear to be the case (as is the priority mentioned above).

Kostas Manolas

He remains the highest-paid Greek footballer, with annual earnings exceeding €2.5 million. Money that did not make his adaptation to the Emirates easier.

He was very close to leaving Sharjah last summer, but some different circumstances and specific circumstances kept him on the list.

In fact, he was so active that he recently accepted Al Arabi Club’s intention to start discussions on extending the contract for another year.

This shows the intention of the club officials, although – bad lies – especially in the world of Arab football, nothing can be taken for granted (not only until the signing, but often after the signings).

Whether they are working or not (according to his information Sport24 I recently “froze”) At 32 years old, Manolas clearly has several years of professional life ahead of him and even longer, believing based on his career so far, and the comfort, to choose to continue his career, wherever he wishes, without returning home – for the sake of Second after his short stint at Olympiacos – to imagine a tempting prospect.

Demetris Limnius

Last summer, he showed his willingness to return to Greece. Not applicable. He overcame his injury, and was waiting – based on discussions – for opportunities in Cologne, and nothing different came of it, so he stayed with the “GOAT”.

Expectations – and not only – were rejected. Now, his departure from Cologne is only a matter of time. Barring a startling possibility, his contract with the German club will be terminated in January with the possibility of mutual consent.

In any case, the main request for the 25-year-old winger is to move immediately to a team with game time, so as to increase his chances of returning to the national team and being available – fortunately for the Blue. And white – in the Euro 2024 finals.

Staying abroad remains a priority, despite the definite cut in his funds, Poland’s (Bogon) perspective is ambiguous and unstable, and his return to Twente after his loan two years ago lacks – so far – concrete data, and although he has so far received… At the very least, there has been no tangible contact, and the option of returning home is gaining more support, continuously and for many reasons.

Babis Lycogiannis

An expatriate is one who is outside the borders most of the time. He is playing his ninth season abroad, seventh in the league, and second in Bologna.

A steady, consistent and notable football presence practically guarantees him the possibility of continuity in the Italian market, regardless of whether he is still based in ‘Dal Ara’ (no such thing on the horizon at the moment).

Be that as it may, in the mind of the 30-year-old left-back, returning to his home country is not a major consideration, because on the one hand he has the possibility to stay abroad (primarily Italy) and on the other hand to contribute – when and if… This idea has taken hold – He himself has set very specific conditions, which at the moment do not look like they will be met next summer.

Socrates Papastathopoulos

The mere fact that he waited until the end of October, and did his best to find a team that fit his CV, by signing Betis, shows his intentions.

Having completed 35 years since the beginning of June, Sokratis was not in the mood to hang the 6 feet, before appearing with a transition similar to the one he achieved with his agreement with the Andalusians, which is that there is still gasoline. – High octane – in its tank.

The prospect of extending his stay at Sevilla is guaranteed by the signing of his contract, and what is clear for Papastathopoulos based on his playing career is that it will mark the end of his career.

Whether it is – for example – in Saudi Arabia, whether it is in the Spanish League, or the German League, or in… Kalamata and Apollo Petalidis.

Tasos Chatzigiovannis – Stelios Kitsiou – Alexandros Katranis

Ankara Cugu and left-back duo, one of Piast Gliević’s potential free agents. Hatzi almost always comes off the bench, affected by an injury that cost him a place in the Turkish first team squad, Kitsyu, which completes five years in the Premier League in January.

He has the reputation and standing to find an offer to stay there if he so desires, for his part, the 26-year-old winger, it seems difficult with his actions so far to enter into the process of – even – renewing his contract, however, the priority is to stay abroad.

As for Katranis? In his fourth season abroad, he remains Piast’s undisputed starter, and has raised his stock significantly in Poland, where he can now (comfortably) find a new contract, but the prospect of a return to Greece certainly does not leave him indifferent.

In conclusion, it is necessary to point out that Dimitris Belkas (Basaksehir) and Vassilis Barkas (Utrecht) have one-year extension options with their teams on their contracts.
