He made his own assessment of the transfer reinforcement of Panathinaikos on the show “The Reporters” of News Bulletin 247 Nikos Athanasiou.
The reporter of the station, after referring to all the reports of the previous days about Fotis Ioannidis and the international players of the “trefoil”, said that Panathinaikos will go for a central defender who will not be acquired just to… complete the roster , but to claim a position of basic: “The reports about Ioannidis are late. But this year he is on the main European stage. He’s not leaving in January. It is not possible for a key centre-forward to leave a championship-winning team.
It must be an astronomical amount to leave. Levadeakos also has a say in his sale. He wants to keep building on it, but the rules of the football market apply to everyone.
We are waiting to see the games of Serbia and Slovenia to see how many players Panathinaikos will have in Euro 2024. It takes… suicide so that the Slovenians and the Serbs don’t go through. They both want a point.”
For the transcripts, he underlined: “After Magnuson’s injury, he is looking for a stopper. There is nothing else to be had when all the other lines are crowded. Panathinaikos has all the conditions and time for the new stopper to be in Koropi on January 1st. Even more important for Panathinaikos to have a stopper ready after the absence of Palmer-Brown. He should find a top level player and not complement the defense”.
Finally, for the match of the 26th matchday with Aris at “Kleanthis Vikelidis”, Nikos Athanasiou emphasized: “Panathinaikos must win the match. Despite the rating and +4, he has not won a big match. The titles based on the format of the championship are decided in the playoffs”.
