Nikas to Leave Panathinaikos

Giorgos Nikas is expected to leave Panathinaikos after a year and a half with the club. His departure is part of Rafa Benítez's plan to 'lighten' the squad during the winter transfer window. Nikas said goodbye to his teammates at the Koropi training center and is already in talks with a team from abroad. Although he has a contract with Panathinaikos until 2027, he is expected to leave as a free agent, giving up the last year of his contract. The 26-year-old midfielder had limited playing time, making just 9 appearances. His desire is to find a team where he will have more opportunities to play, which seems likely to happen abroad.
