Legia Warszawa showed interest in Ioannis Pittas and was considered a favorite at one point. However, they struggled with the financial demands of AIK, planning to pay the transfer fee in installments, unlike CSKA Sofia. Ultimately, Legia failed to secure the transfer before their training camp in Spain, and their coach confirmed that Pittas will not be joining Legia.

AIK was in final negotiations with Legia Warszawa regarding Ioannis Pittas.

Legia Warszawa showed serious interest in Ioannis Pittas from AIK. Some media suggested that the 28-year-old Cypriot was getting closer to joining Legia Warszawa, but these reports were denied by Sebastian Staszewski. Tomasz Włodarczyk from Meczyki.pl reported that Legia Warszawa might ultimately opt for Lasse Nordås instead.

AIK is reportedly in the final stages of negotiations with Legia Warszawa regarding the transfer of striker Ioannis Pittas. It appears that Pittas will not be joining the team at their training camp in Marbella, suggesting that the transfer is nearing completion. AIK is said to be demanding a deal valued at approximately 20 million kronor to finalize the offer. The negotiations are also said to involve CSKA Sofia and Ulsan Hyundai, who have expressed interest in acquiring Pittas. Should these negotiations with the clubs not succeed, there is a possibility that Pittas might join the training camp later in the week, though this scenario is considered unlikely.
