Within a short period of time, AEK made another wonderful move, strengthening their defense. After the Italian goalkeeper, Alberto Brignoli, the new owner and president of the Union, shipowner, Marios Iliopoulos proceeded to join the international Albanian goalkeeper, of Brentford, Thomas Strakosha.


The 29-year-old goalkeeper (born 18 March 1995) who has played for Lazio, Salernitana and until recently in England, Brentford has signed a 5-year contract (until June 2029). Thus the Albanian goalkeeper became one of the highest paid footballers in Greece and certainly the highest paid goalkeeper



AEK offered Strakoshas 1.2 million euros a year plus bonuses, which means that in the next five years the international goalkeeper will fill his bank accounts with at least 6 million euros.

AEK strongman Marios Iliopoulos outbid a Greek team for a goalkeeper in order to acquire Strakosha. But of course the footballer himself gave money to Brentford while the conversation he had with the Argentinian coach of AEK, Matias Almeida played the role of

Clearly satisfied, the 29-year-old Strakosha said: "I am very happy that my transfer to AEK has been completed. I can't wait to start training and make myself available to my coach. From today, no more words, only work."


The transfer of Fotis Strakosha to AEK was not a simple story. This is a footballer who comes from the Premier League, after a stint in the Championship and indeed as a starter in Lazio and with an excellent Euro at his feet a few days ago with the national team of Albania. Therefore, a lot had to be done in order to dress in yellow and black.


Let's remember that his father, Fotis Strakosha, was also a goalkeeper and had competed in Olympiakos, Ethnikos, Panionio, Ionikos, Proodeftiki etc. teams... So the apple fell from the apple tree...
