Published December 29, 2025, 06:39

AEK Athens is currently focused on transfer planning for January, aiming to add at least three players to the squad. Alongside incoming transfers, the club is also evaluating contract renewals for players whose deals expire in the summer. Petros Mantalos is expected to stay, while the possibility of extending Domagoj Vida's contract remains open, considering his age, performance, and leadership qualities. The club would like to keep him involved even after his playing career ends. Mijat Gacinovic is also a potential candidate for a new contract, having regained his form. Conversely, Mitoglou, Johnson, Ondubadjo, and Kalens are not considered for the future, and the departures of Pereira, Joao Mario, and Grujic are likely due to age, injury proneness, and high salaries.
