After shining at Sporting, Vagiannidis gets big news in Greece | OneFootball

Georgios Vagiannidis has been called up to represent the Greece national team, just a few weeks after arriving at Sporting, where he has already made an assist for a goal. The Greek team will play qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup, and the national coach has also called up Fotis Ioannidis and Giannis Konstantelias, two targets of the lions in the transfer market.

Georgios Vagiannidis has been a regular bet in the calls of the Greek national team, since his time at Panathinaikos. The right-back arrived at Alvalade in this transfer market in exchange for an investment of 12 million euros plus 2.5M for objectives. The new 'shirt 13' of the lions has gained a prominent role, being a regular option for Rui Borges, and is even being considered as a starter.

Fotis Ioannidis has regained strength at Sporting. After a long soap opera in the summer of 2024, in which the Greek striker ended up not joining the lions, the 25-year-old striker is once again associated with the Green and White Club due to the imminent departure of Conrad Harder to Milan.

The last of these names to be associated with Rui Borges' team is Giannis Konstantelias. The young midfielder from PAOK is the latest name on the list of potential reinforcements for the Alvalade Club and is seen as a plan B, in the event that Deportivo de A Coruña rejects the offers made for Yeremay Hernández.

Under the command of Serbian Ivan Jovanovic, the Greek national team takes to the field on September 5 and 8 to face Belarus and Denmark, respectively. These matches are part of the qualifying process for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
