The Greens will pay an estimated amount of €150,000 in order to complete the purchase of 24-year-old international, who is expected to sign three-season contract with manager Marinos Ouzounidis' team and replace experienced Englishman Luke Steele.

Panathinaikos On 8 August 2017, Panathinaikos have announced the signing of goalkeeper Sokratis Dioudis, ahead of the 2017–18 season. The 24-year-old international was the sixth player that moves to the Greens this summer. On 25 November 2017, he made his debut with the club in the Super League, in an away game against Atromitos. At the end of the 2017–18 season, many were worried with him as the first choice this season following the departure of Odysseas Vlachodimos to Benfica, but Dioudis has proved to be an outstanding replacement and credit is given to Panathinaikos' coach Georgios Donis for turning the player from last season's inconsistent displays to a keeper who commands his area well and makes extraordinary saves.

On 11 November 2018, Dioudis in a 1–1 away derby with rivals Olympiacos suffered a face injury in a strong aerial challenge from Bibras Natcho. The Israeli midfielder earned a yellow card and Panathinaikos were forced to replace the injured Dioudis with Konstantinos Kotsaris. It was a scary moment for Dioudis as he swallowed his tongue. In a touching moment of the derby, the home fans clapped for the injured Panathinaikos keeper as he was carried off in a stretcher.
