Missed Deal: Jović and Panathinaikos

Luka Jović was the star in the derby between Panathinaikos and Olympiacos, setting a historic record. Despite his excellent performance, Panathinaikos missed an opportunity to sign him. Specifically, in the summer of 2025 and January of the same year, the 'greens' had expressed interest in Jović, with contacts made with the player's side. The prospect of his acquisition was linked to the possible departure of Fotis Ioannidis. Jović's agent had informed them of the player's availability for the Super League, but the transfer ultimately did not materialize.
