João Mário, the 33-year-old Portuguese midfielder, terminated his contract with Besiktas and signed for AEK Athens. The transfer was made at no cost to the Greek club, as the player became free after ending his agreement with the Turkish team.
The contract signed with AEK Athens has a duration of two sporting seasons. This move represents a new adventure in the Portuguese player's career, as at 33 years old he seeks competitive rhythm in a new league.
Besiktas, the club where João Mário had been since 2021, reached an agreement with the player for the termination of the contract. This departure allows the Portuguese midfielder to join the Athenian club without contractual obstacles.
AEK Athens is one of the historic clubs in Greek football, seeking to strengthen their midfield with the experience of the Portuguese international. The operation was completed in time for the player to join the team during the Hellenic club's pre-season.
