Panagiotis Tachtsidis (Template:Lang-el; born 15 February 1991) is a Greek footballer currently playing as a midfielder for Italian Serie A club Torino, on loan from Catania and the Greek national team.

Club career

AEK Athens

Tachtsidis was scouted by Toni Savevski, the head of AEK Athens's youth academy at the time, and signed his first professional contract with AEK on 1 November 2007.[1] Shortly after signing his first professional contract, Tachtsidis made his debut for AEK in the Greek Cup against Fostiras. On 27 January 2009, he became the youngest player to have ever played for AEK in the Greek League when he played against Thrasyvoulos, being 16 years and 348 days old; that record, however, has since been surpassed by Taxiarchis Fountas, also for AEK. Against Thrasyvoulos, Tachtsidis scored the winning goal in the 92nd minute to give his team the three points.[2]

Genoa

On 21 April 2010, Tachtsidis completed a move to Genoa that had already been previously agreed upon in January 2010.[3] While at Genoa, he joined Cesena on loan for a year in August 2010.[4] [dead link‍] He then headed to Grosseto on loan until the end of the season in February 2011. Tachtsidis went on a third loan spell to Verona for the 2011–12 season. His stay at the club turned out very successful, playing in most of Verona's games and helping the club to reach the play-offs for promotion to the Serie A, which they failed to reach.

Roma

On 19 July 2012, Tachtsidis signed a five-year contract with Roma for a fee of €2.5 million in co-ownership deal (€1.5 million plus 50% registration rights of Andrea Bertolacci).[5] He managed to score one goal in 21 appearances for Roma in Serie A for the 2012–13 season.

On 20 June 2013, Roma signed Mattia Destro outright for a pre-agreed figure of €4.5 million. Giammario Piscitella and Valerio Verre, who were sent to Genoa as part of the Destro loan deal, returned to Roma for €4 million in total (having cost Genoa €3 million in 2012). As part of this complex deal, Tachtsidis returned to Genoa for €3 million.[6]

Catania

On 20 June 2013, it was announced that Tachtsidis had moved to Genoa,[7] however, less than a month later he was sold in a co-ownership deal to Calcio Catania in part-exchange for the co-ownership of Francesco Lodi, who moved to Genoa also in co-ownership.[8][9] 50% registration rights of Tachtsidis and Lodi both valued for €3 million, matching the bought back fee Genoa paid to Roma.[10]

Torino

On 9 January 2014 Torino have completed the capture of the central midfielder from Calcio Catania on loan for the rest of the season with a purchase option in place to take Catania’s 50 per cent share in the summer. The Granata had been looking to strengthen their midfield options.[11][12]

He made his first appearance with the club on 19 January 2014 in a 2-0 home win against Sassuolo and he scored his first goal with the club on a 3-3 away draw against Lazio.

As reported by Sky Sports there is an agreement in principle for the return of midfielder in yellow and blue: the '91 class footballer has already worn the jersey of the club in the 2011-12 season at La Scala, at the time the card is jointly owned between Calcio Catania and Genoa but the Hellas Verona will pick up in loan Tachtsidis after the renewal of the co-ownership between the Etna and the griffin.[13] [14]

International career

Tachtsidis exceptional season year with both Calcio Catania and Torino was his passport not only to be called from Greek national manager Fernando Santos to the 30 man provisional World Cup squad, but also to the final 23-man squad for 2014 FIFA World Cup.[15]
