Nikologiannis: “The first pending issues after the renewal of Kotsira”

For its design Panathinaikou and the first green movements were spoken by Tasos Nikologiannis on bwinSPORT FM.

For the new scenarios for Aduna: “Every summer there is an Aduna candidate. It’s not playing, there’s no problem.”

For the looming renewal of Kotsira: “The first pending issue is the renewal of Kotsira’s contract. The player will continue in Panathinaikos, probably for two years he will sign. He will be counted as a right back, there are six Maksimović, Arao and Ruben who will be the third choice”.

On the left-back issue and other outstanding matters: “I believe that Giannoulis will have a development around June 25. The young Fikai will be in training, since Mladenovic will also be missing and Kotsiras can also be tested. The truth is, of course, that we will see through the training sessions and friendlies some of Alonso’s thoughts on the players. He has seen the games, knows the players and has studied everything to be ready. Through training he will get to know them better. Dragovski remains pending and then we will know about the pre-season friendlies. There will be five friendlies, logic says that three will be strong. Three will be held in Austria and two in Athens. On June 19, Panathinaikos will know its first opponent”.

For other transcripts: “The first two transfers will be made soon and then the rest. Panathinaikos will try to close some gaps. The left back and the winger who will come will be for the main players.”

On Cerin and the rejection of Dinamo Zagreb’s offer: “2 million is a ridiculous amount. Panathinaikos will try to adjust the contract with the player himself, and will not deal with his manager anymore. The Croatians knew they couldn’t give a bigger amount for that and Panathinaikos said they’re not even discussing it.”
