He didn’t accept finally the offer submitted to him by Panathinaikosin order to sign a new contract with improved financial benefits, o Dimitris Kourbelis.
As a result, “clover” announced today (31/05) the Goodbye between the two sides, while thanking the international midfielder and until now his captain for his contribution to the team.
Now, Kourbelis is free to seek his football luck elsewhere, with the Trabzonspor to be very interested… warmwhile it should be noted that Panathinaikos he did what he could and reason on his part to keep him on his roster.
With the “greens” moving forward with their planning anyway, which includes finding a player who will play at 6 and 8, he will essentially be the replacement for the 29-year-old midfielder and is destined to be a starter!
The relevant announcement in detail:
“PAE Panathinaikos announces the completion of its collaboration after 6.5 years with Dimitris Kourbelis.
Dimitris was acquired in December 2016 by Asteras Tripoli and immediately became a key member of Panathinaikos, being one of their captains until the last match. On December 12, 2020, after the match against PAS Ioannina, he suffered an injury problem, which kept him out of action for 14 months. He returned in February 2022 and continued to compete until the end of this season.
In total, with the Panathinaikos jersey, he reached 174 appearances (149 in the league), scored 8 goals, celebrated the 2022 Cup and was anointed international, having played 30 times with the National team.
We thank him for his many years of service and we wholeheartedly wish him success in the next step of his career.”
