Announcement about his subject Alberto Brignoliwhich essentially constitutes past from Panathinaikosthe “green” PAE issued, revealing the entire history of the discussions with the Italian goalkeeper!
In recent days, it had become clear that the two sides were leading to an impasse, with the “clover” underlining in the announcement that, while all the player’s demands were accepted, he decided not to continue with the team, regardless of a financial offer. PAE notes: “Today, before the start of training, in a new discussion between the player and the coach, the player told the coach that he will eventually stay with a new contract at Panathinaikos and can count on him for tomorrow’s match against AEK. However, when confronted with the technical director, he initially claimed that he had not understood the President’s proposal and when it was repeated to him that the team accepted all his terms for renewal and he was asked to finalize the deal, he was forced to admit that he had not no intention to renew»!
The above, of course, means that Brignoli will not wear the Panathinaikos shirt again and will likely train on his own, unless he leaves now on a transfer. We remind you, his contract expires in the summer. Regarding the derby against AEK, his place in the team will be taken by Xenopoulos. Transferring the report to News Bulletin 247however, the Tasos Nikologiannis underlined that Panathinaikos is already moving to sign a goalkeeper in the coming days.
The announcement of PAE Panathinaikos:
“PAE Panathinaikos is forced to officially state the facts, as they are, in its case many months of effort contract renewal of Alberto Brignoli.
The first official proposal of Panathinaikos for the renewal of Brignoli’s contract was made at the beginning of October. The offer was about doubling of wages compared to the current contract. Unfortunately, we did not receive any official response from the footballer. Despite our constant nagging in November, Brignoli’s agent did not show up for either appointment which were closed in December, while he did not return persistent phone calls.
Although there was no position from the side of the football player, in December Panathinaikos made a new attempt and met directly with the football player Brignoli, again without getting any response to the new and even more economically increased offer.
In a last ditch effort to find a solution, we arrived last Wednesday for an appointment with the President of PAE, Mr. Yannis Alafouzou and the technical director of PAE with Brinioli. There the President of PAE accepted the demands of the football player expressed up to then, both in terms of finances and the duration of the cooperation. The footballer stated that decided not to continue at Panathinaikos regardless of the financial offer, as he had decided to follow another path. Immediately after the meeting, the Italian goalkeeper also spoke with the coach Mr. Fatih Terim, to whom he was again negative about his stay.
Today, before the start of training, in a new discussion between the player and the coach, the player told the coach that he will eventually stay with a new contract at Panathinaikos and can count on him for tomorrow’s match against AEK. But when it came to confrontation with the technical directorinitially claimed that he had not understood the President’s proposal and when it was reiterated to him that the team accepts all his terms for a renewal and he was asked to finalize the deal, he was forced to admit that he had no intention of renewing.
Although the Association practically and in every way supported the footballer in a period of competitive decline, which it was very expensive in terms of points, the footballer chose to display the behavior described aboveon the eve of a crucial match».
