After a rejected offer from the Super League Greece side in the summer, the Quakes received another bid from AEK for Kikanovic this month, sources told MLSsoccer.com. San Jose are in no rush to make a move, with new head coach Luchi Gonzalez taking over this winter and wanting to get a chance to assess the squad during preseason camp. The Greek transfer window is open from January 1 through January 31.
Kikanović, who turns 23 in January, was given his MLS debut under Almeyda in 2021 and continued to earn playing time even after Almeyda was dismissed, winning a starting spot for much of the 2022 season under interim head coach Alex Covelo. He had 6g/3a in 1,370 minutes last season, split across 30 matches (16 starts).
I’m not sure I’d expect San Jose to move both Kikanović and homegrown forward Cade Cowell in the same window, and it seems like Kikanović is more likely at this stage. But hey, things change rapidly.
