Panathinaikos: Targets a winger in January – Pelistri under evaluation
Panathinaikos is having an excellent start to the season, but its people have already begun preparing their moves for the January transfer window.
Panathinaikos is having an excellent start to the season, but its people have already begun preparing their moves for the January transfer window.
The "Greens" are at the top of the league and maintain a perfect record in the Cup and Conference League. Despite the depth and quality of the current roster, the demanding schedule across three competitions creates the need for additional solutions.
Priority: a productive winger
The acquisition of a wide attacker is higher on Panathinaikos's list. The ideal choice would be a player who can play on both sides, while also providing goals and assists.
Jacob Nystrup mainly relies on Santino Antino for the left side and Levi Garcia for the right. Taborda and Yagusic can provide solutions on the flanks, but this is not their natural position.
The injuries to Pantelidis and Unai have further limited the alternatives, reinforcing the need for an addition to the attacking wings.
Pelistri's future is open
Facundo Pelistri is lower in the playing hierarchy and his future cannot be taken for granted. If a satisfactory offer is submitted and the Uruguayan is positive about the prospect of leaving, Panathinaikos is willing to discuss his transfer.
So far there is nothing concrete, but a possible move for him would make the acquisition of a winger even more necessary. The club's goal is to add a player who will immediately strengthen the creation and the team's already high attacking productivity.
