5 January Transfers of Greeks to Foreign Clubs


As the January transfer period came to an end, we had a number of Greek footballers who decided to pick a new foreign club to continue their career. Avraam Papadopoulos, Giannis Fetfatzidis, Tasos Donis, Panayotis Vlachodimos and Apostolos Vellios join Giorgios Samaras who yesterday signed for Saudi Arabian Side Al-Hilah.

Not too many details have surfaced from China’s media portals about Avraam Papadopoulos’ transfer to Sanghai Greenland, as a result of its communistic and mysterious ways of dealing with such matters. The little that was published was the fee the Chinese side paid (€285.000) to cancel his contract with his previous club Trabzonspor. The former Aris Thessaloniki and Olympiakos defender will become the first Greek to play in China.

His injury earlier this season set him back, appearing on the field just 5 times.
