After the expected outcome between Mirotic and Partizana situation that has dynamited the Euroleague market, now all eyes are on Greece, and that is that the Panathinaikos has already made a formal offer to the Montenegrin to join their ranks next season.
According to the Italian basketball portal “Sporting“, the Greek team He has offered him 4 million per season to the already ex-player of Barça, a figure that would place him again among the highest paid of the European continent.
Dimitris Giannakopoulosthe president of Panathinaikos, wants to take advantage of what happened between Mirotic and Partizan Belgrade, after the player issued a statement in which he He confirmed that he would not sign for the Serbian team or any other team from the Balkan country, such as Red Star.
Now, it seems that the Montenegrin’s next destination may be Greece, a country where the two ‘giants’, Panathinaikos and OlympiakosThey have already declared their intentions for him on more than one occasion. both are building Final Four caliber projectsbut those in green and white are the ones they will bid harder for the power forward…
PANATHINAIKOS, A TEAM TO AIM FOR EVERYTHING
If there is a team that has moved with fish in the water since the transfer period began, that is the Panathinaikos. After finishing seventeenth in the last Euroleague, the Greek team is breaking into the market with a checkbook to return to the top, and has already incorporated some of the great stars of the Euroleague.
The arrival of Kostas Sloukas, Lucas Vildoza and Mathias Lessort the level of the team rises exponentially, three players with experience under the spotlight and who have already shown that they are part of the elite in Europe. Other reinforcements like Kostas Antetokounmpo, Kyle Guy and Jerian Grant they are a declaration of intent in terms of the depth they treasure, but the ‘icing on the cake’.
Nikola Mirotic would be the flagship of a project that wants to fight again for the Euroleague title, a trophy that they have not won since 2011, the year in which Diamantidis raised the sixth continental trophy for Panathinaikos to the skies of Barcelona. We’ll see if they can beat other ‘big shots’ in the fight for the Montenegrin, and is that offers will not be lacking.
Another interior that is on the ‘PAO’ agenda is shengelia shop, Virtus Bologna player who could be close to joining the Greek team. He seemed cerrado a few days ago, but the possible signing of Mirotic could torpedo the arrival of the Georgian. Panathinaikos’ financial engineering work will be huge, but if the numbers come out, they will be one of the best in Europe after a few years of traveling through the desert.
PARTIZAN, AN ENDING OF ‘SOAP SOAP’
In the Stark Arena they were already waiting with open arms for the Montenegrin, who he had already agreed his new contract with Partizan, but a last-minute change cut short the player’s future. As claimed by Mirotic in a statement on social media, He did not look favorably on his arrival in Serbia after receiving a multitude of threats and insults by the Partizan Belgrade fans themselves. In his own words, this was the best decision for him and his family.
The Serbian team responded forcefully to Niko, confirming that the club and player had everything closed and hinting that the reasons for his ‘non-arrival’ are other, beyond the criticism received.
“The club publicly calls Nikola Mirotic, for his commitment to the truth, and he is a man who fights for the truth, so that he says who are the people who threatened him. KK Partizan Mozzart Bet strongly believes that the reasons for not signing Nikola Mirotic’s contract They have nothing to do with threats, but with some other things that the public will be able to see for themselves in the next few days.” announced the Serbian entity.
In any case, the former Barça player has already confirmed that he will not sign for any team from the Balkan country, so in Partizan they will have to look for another ‘crack’ for which to launch themselves in the transfer market.
