Just six months after his £4.3 million departure from Celtic, Giorgos Giakoumakis is already making headlines with a potential return to European football.
The striker, who made a move to Atlanta United in February, has been in scintillating form, netting an impressive 12 goals in just 12 starts for the MLS side after topping the scoring charts in Holland and Scotland.
According to a report from The Athletic, the interest in Giakoumakis is “heating up”, with European clubs closely monitoring his progress in the States.
With the summer transfer window in full swing, there’s speculation that an offer for the Greek striker could be tabled in the coming days.
However, Atlanta United seems determined to retain their star forward. Despite the swirling rumors, the club has been firm in their stance, insisting that Giakoumakis is not for sale.
Giakoumakis’s rapid rise in the MLS and the subsequent interest from European clubs highlight his quality and the impact he’s had since leaving Celtic. While his time at Celtic was brief, he made a lot of memories while scoring a bagful of goals.
It remains to be seen if any European club can table an offer enticing enough for Atlanta to part ways with their star striker. For now, Giakoumakis continues to shine in the MLS, but the allure of European football might just be around the corner for the prolific forward.
