Sotiris Alexandropoulos, a Greek national born on the 26th of November 2001 (now 23 years old), has carved out a notable career as a defensive midfielder. Currently stationed at Sporting CP, Alexandropoulos stands as a stalwart figure in his defensive role, measuring a sturdy 6ft (1.83m) and weighing 11st 2lb (71kg). Apart from his stint at Sporting CP, he has also had the honour of donning the blue and white strips of the Greek national team.
With a current market value of approximately £2.1m according to Transfermarkt, Alexandropoulos remains one of Sporting CP's precious assets. However, with his contract due to expire on the 30th of June 2025 and only a month remaining, the midfielder's future hangs in the balance.
Alexandropoulos commenced his professional journey in Greece, playing for Panathinaikos from the 2019-2020 season until the 2022 - 2023 season. His inaugural season saw him making ten first-team appearances, and his impressive performances earned him a regular spot in the squad with 28 and 29 appearances in the subsequent seasons. However, the 2022 - 2023 season saw him making only a single appearance for the team, signaling the end of his time at Panathinaikos.
The same season, Alexandropoulos transferred his talents to Portugal, playing for Sporting CP. Despite being new to the team, he managed to make six crucial first team appearances. The next season, he was loaned out to Olympiacos in his homeland Greece, where he made 19 appearances and also managed to score a goal.
In a surprising move during the 2024 - 2025 season, Alexandropoulos was sent to Standard Liege in Belgium, where he made a substantial impact, amassing 26 first team appearances. During the same season, however, he found no luck at Sporting CP in Portugal, failing to secure a place in the starting lineup.
In a testament to his international reputation, Alexandropoulos was selected to participate in the Euro Qualifiers 2022 - 2024 for Greece, where he came off the bench twice to support his team.
