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

Georgios Vagiannidis was called up to represent the Greek national team, a few weeks after arriving at Sporting, where he has already provided an assist. The Greek team will play World Cup 2026 qualification matches, and the national coach 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 Greek national team's call-ups since his time at Panathinaikos. The right-back arrived at Alvalade in this transfer market for an investment of 12 million euros plus 2.5M for goals. The new 'shirt 13' of the lions has gained prominence, being a regular option for Rui Borges, even being appointed as a starter.

Fotis Ioannidis regained strength at Sporting. After a long soap opera in the summer of 2024, in which the Greek striker ended up not going to the lions, the 25-year-old forward is 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' squad 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 d'A Corunha refuses the offers made by Yeremay Hernández.

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