AEK Athens signs Landers Nolley II and advances negotiations for Giannoulis Larentzakis

On Thursday, August 6, 2026, AEK Athens officially announced the signing of American guard-forward Landers Nolley II to a two-year contract, extending through the summer of 2028. The 26-year-old athlete brings significant international experience, having recently played for Nancy in France, Brampton in Canada, and Al-Ittihad in Syria, following previous stints in the NCAA, the NBA G-League, and for Aris in Greece.

Simultaneously, AEK is in advanced negotiations to acquire international guard Giannoulis Larentzakis. Following a six-year tenure with Olympiacos, Larentzakis is reportedly seeking a more prominent role and increased playing time, viewing the move to AEK as a positive career development. While personal terms between the player and the club are nearing completion, the finalization of the transfer remains subject to an agreement between AEK and Olympiacos, as Larentzakis is still under contract with his current team. Olympiacos has not expressed opposition to his departure, and discussions are currently underway to resolve the remaining contractual details.
