Short: “It’s not time to deal with transfers – There is a will to stay Nunn, Grant, Grigonis”

Clear on transfer scenarios from Spain for Hezonia and Tavares was the Dimitris Kontos to News Bulletin 247. His contact person Panathinaikou AKTOR pointed out that at the moment the first concern of everyone in the team is this season and its obligations with a good finish in the two competitions it still has until the end of the season.

In his intervention at 94.6, Dimitris Kontos pointed out that at the moment there are players whose contracts are expiring in the summer and made it clear that there is a clear will from the management to remain in the team Nunn, Grigonis and Grant.

What Dimitris Kontos said in detail on the show “Pressing” with Vaios Tsoutsikas and Michalis Tsochos

“Regarding the transcripts: we had made a decision, not to comment or deny everything. The return of Panathinaikos to the highest level of the Euroleague causes various scenarios. Because Marca and AS write various things about Real, we have to put a brake on it, the truth is that Panathinaikos has a well-structured roster, and in his mind are the players who are there and their contracts expire, such as Grant, Grigonis and Nan».

“Now we want to be focused on the difficult things ahead. The course of Panathinaikos is logical to evoke various scenarios, especially for players who have played in the past with the team. In this particular case, no one will leave the goals, the titles and the path, all that he has defined, to deal with transfers from now on, in a repeat of last season, when we were all dealing with the team that was being built for this year».

“We are looking at how to keep the players who are an integral part of the team, like the ones I mentioned earlier. Nan is an NBA player. Beyond that, who doesn’t want to see him stay at Panathinaikos? For Grant we know it, for Grigonis it can be seen from how the coach uses him. This team was built with a three-year horizon and not for a… sprint, which will be constantly renewed and changed, has players like Grant who are not for one-year terms, and immediately Panathinaikos mobilized. The same goes for Nan, who is a player who has never been to Europe before».

For the difficult and demanding games with Olympiakos and Bologna in the Euroleague: “We have a lot of stress and a lot of pressure when it comes to away games, and especially for Bologna, I’m going to upset people and from what we’re hearing, there will be 900 to 1,000 people without people. KAE currently has 1,100 requests from Panathinaikos fans to travel, 314 will enter the stadium, and we might secure some very expensive tickets behind our team’s bench. Our fans must be prepared, that they might not enter the stadium, and be ready to cancel their plane tickets. Bologna is a special case and they don’t even open the tickets electronically and those who can avoid inconvenience and sadness should keep that in mind».
