Left-BackGreece18 years oldPlays for Olympiacos Piraeus U19
Athanasios Christopoulos, a left‑back, was born on 5 January 2008. He is currently a member of Olympiacos Piraeus U19, having joined the club in the summer of 2026 after a spell with Legia Warsaw U19.
He reads the game well. (His positioning is disciplined.) He can drift forward when the situation demands. Pace is one of his assets, allowing him to recover quickly on the flank. He is solid in one‑on‑one duels, using both legs effectively. Versatility is evident: he has been deployed as centre‑back and even in a defensive midfield role. Crossing accuracy remains a work in progress; improving this will raise his offensive contribution. Stamina over a full 90 minutes is another area for development.
Christopoulos arrived at Olympiacos after winning two consecutive championships with Legia Warsaw’s reserve side. He also appeared in the UEFA Youth League, notably against PAOK U19. At the national level, he has been a regular for Greece U15, U17, and U19 squads since 2015. In the current season, he has been a consistent presence in the Olympiacos U19 lineup.
No active transfer rumours circulate at present. He moved to Olympiacos on a free transfer, and his contract remains in force until 30 June 2027. No release clause has been disclosed. Clubs in Greece and Poland may keep an eye on him as he continues to develop.
Olympiacos are preparing to sign left‑back Athanasios Christopoulos from Legia Warsaw U19, with the move described as advanced. His listed contract runs to June 2027.
