Georgios Vagiannidis is one of the nominees for the best player of the Greek championship 2024/25, representing Panathinaikos. The right-back from Sporting arrived at Alvalade in the last transfer window and has quickly established himself in Rui Borges' selections. In fact, he is expected to start this Monday against Moreirense.

The award, given by the Greek Footballers' Union, announced its nominees last Saturday, September 20. Besides the new 'number 13' of the lions, other possible winners include Giannis Konstantelias from PAOK—who has been linked to Sporting—and Charlampos Kostoulas, who moved from Olympiacos to Brighton last summer.

The winner of the award will be revealed this Monday, September 22, and if Georgios Vagiannidis wins, the Sporting right-back could succeed Fotis Ioannidis, his teammate at Sporting, who won the last edition for his work with Panathinaikos.

It is worth noting that Georgios Vagiannidis and Fotis Ioannidis have a close friendship. In fact, the Greek striker revealed that one of the reasons he joined the Alvalade Club at the end of the last summer window was due to conversations with the 24-year-old right-back.

This season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Georgios Vagiannidis—valued at 8 million euros—has participated in four matches. The green and white defender played a total of 188 minutes, during which he managed to make one assist for his teammates.
