The Greek team has done one huge suggestion to Miroticwhich will guarantee four million euros net for each of the next two seasons. An offer, which hard to reject and which, if it goes ahead, would lead to an attempt to reach an agreement with Barca, so that the player would leave and sign for Panathinaikos».
