Panagiotis Retsos (Greek: Παναγιώτης Ρέτσος, born 9 August 1998) is a Greek footballer who plays as a defender for Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen.
He was born in Johannesburg to Greek parents, Christos and Eleni. In the summer of 2016, at age 18, he was promoted from Olympiakos' youth team by first manager Víctor Sánchez, who was impressed by his stamina. On 25 August 2016 he made his debut with the club in a Europa League play offs home match against Arouca. On 8 February 2017, Retsos has appointed captain of the club in a Greek Cup goalless home draw against Atromitos. Retsos became the youngest captain of a Greek champion club aged only 18, five months and 30 days.
Retsos' first exceptional professional year has attracted the interest of many European clubs.
On 30 August 2017, the 19-year-old Retsos was sold to Bayer Leverkusen for a fee of £15.75 million. The Bundesliga outfit believe they have signed themselves a future star, with the teenager having already broken records in his career. The 19-year-old centre-back has signed a five-year deal with the Bundesliga outfit after Leverkusen beat off competition from Ligue 1 sides Stade Rennes and Lyon for his signature. On 17 September 2017, he made his debut in Bundesliga in a 4–0 home win game against SC Freiburg as a starter. On the club's Twitter account, Retsos was voted the Man of the Match.
