THE departure of Dimitris Kourbelis brought to the top of the priorities for Panathinaikos the acquisition of a player who will compete in the same position, as he emphasized in News Bulletin 247 The Tasos Nikologiannis.
“Panathinaikos is looking for a player who will play at ‘8’ and ‘6’ and will be intended as a starter. He is now a priority, because he was a core player of the team. He should be in the first transfers, to be from the beginning of pre-season and ready for the qualifiers. At the same time, a ten should be acquired, perhaps even one more player who can cover both positions. The midfielders needed by Panathinaikos must be fast-paced and goal-scoring, something that has been missing from the midfield this year“, he said.
Regarding the background of Kourbelis’ decision, he pointed out: “Trabzonspor’s proposal was made several days ago and reached 1 million euros, while Panathinaikos’ did not reach these levels, even though it was with increased wages compared to his previous contract. However, Kourbelis has not yet been signed to the Turkish team. He simply rejected Panathinaikos’ proposal this morning».
As for the rest of the transfers, he said:There is no progress in the matter of Lingr. Slavia tries to revive him. Panathinaikos has one more option in mind. A stopper will definitely be acquired, they may have two. Poungouras will leave, we will see about Sarligia. There is also a desire for a good right back to come, but numerically there are solutions there, Kotsiras and Vagiannidis».
