Becirovic: “There’s still something left for Yurtseven – There was interest in Lesor, I wasn’t worried about him leaving”

A complete analysis of the transfer issues of Panathinaikos AKTOR was done by Sani Becirovicthe team’s technical director.

The Slovenian spoke to Meridian Sport and addressed his case Omer Yurtsevenemphasizing that the Turk is indeed a concern, but there is still something that needs to be done in order to complete the transcription.

At the same time, he deified him Matias Lessor and the progress he has made, pointing out that there was interest in the Frenchman, but there was never any question of his leaving and the Panathinaikos she intends to do everything she can to keep him.

In detail what he said:

For the transfer summer of Panathinaikos: “I think we did what was necessary in Panathinaikos after such a successful season: We kept almost the whole team. We added Lorenzo Brown to this because we believe that apart from Kostas Sluka, who was a scorer and creator, we need another player like that in case of a bad day or, God forbid, an injury.

We are still in the market for a tall player. If the market find the right one – he will be. We all expect a season with even more stress, because we know that it is much easier to win a title than to defend it. But I think the guys, from the first to the last, are ready for what awaits us.”

On the possibility of acquiring Yurtseven: “The truth is that it has been written (s.s for the interest). We have nothing to hide here: He is one of the players we are interested in. Contact was made, we investigated the case to see if it would be a realistic option or not. But there is still something that needs to be done for this transfer to take place.”.

For Matias Lessor: “Matias proved that what he did before at Partizan was no accident, but that he is really a player who improves year after year and confirms this quality of his.

Because if Lessor was once a player who relied on his energy and inspiration, now we should be talking about a truly dominant center. Not only in Europe, but also globally. I’m glad he’s still with us this year. Of course, our desire is for him to stay with us as long as possible and we will do everything we can to keep him.”

On whether he was worried about the Frenchman leaving for the NBA after Kolet’s statements: “No, I wasn’t worried if he was going to leave because he didn’t have an NBA out in his contract. That’s why I was quite calm. There were even some rumors that there was a lot of interest in him. There was interest, but we never reached any serious negotiation for something to happen, as happened for example with Yabusele.”
