Daniel Mancini is ready to present himself to the Panathinaikos public from today, with a possible debut tonight at Leoforo in the cup rematch against PAOK! The Greens’ deal with Aris was completed early on Wednesday morning, with the transfer fee reaching levels from … other eras, making it one of the most expensive in the club’s history, especially for a player who hails from a Greek club. The deal was closed for €2.5 million, of which 20% went to Bordeaux, who retained a percentage of the resale. Mancini signed a 3.5 year contract with his salary of around €700,000 per annum plus bonuses. Panathinaikos will be looking to acquire another winger rather than a central midfielder as the Argentine ace can also compete in the center.

In order not to waste time before exchanging the necessary documents and signatures, Mancini went to Koropi for training in the morning, and his new teammates greeted him with a (now common) tunnel. He chose the 17th number and was immediately given to Jovanovic, although he did not get into the squad for formal reasons. The procedures were completed in the evening and with the issuance of his EPO card, he can enter the number 20 and play tonight (19:30) against PAOK for qualification to the semi-final phase of the Cup, with the Thessalonians having a distinct 2-0 advantage of their victory in Toumba .

Kleinheisler will also make his debut for Panathinaikos and Pugura’s participation will be decided at the last minute as the problem will be serious with Magnuson and Schenkefeld out. Filipe Soares was given to Lucescu, who had no problems at the last minute. Today (17.30) there will be a match between Lamia and Apollon Paralimni.
