Panathinaikos are already working towards next season, maintaining a communication channel with Uriel Aduna's side ahead of the summer.
Panathinaikos as an organization is fully focused on the claim of two domestic titles and the “battles” that heat up next weekend with the playoffs and the big match against PAOK (31/3, 18:00) in Leoforos.
At the same time, of course, other “pieces” of the team continue to work “after”. And after the official announcement of the deal with the Serbian midfielder, the move to further strengthen the roster is set to join the team after July 1 as the decision is made to continue upgrading Panathinaikos' talent with other “Maksimovic-type” transfers.
Regardless of the outcome of this season in terms of titles, “Clover” will make some but careful and quality moves next summer in order to raise its status as a team.
A lot will depend on any (additional) departures after the end of the year, but at some level the results for data and reinforcement are more or less clear.
One of the areas where Panathinaikos will move to strengthen is on the attacking flanks, where there will be general improvement over the coming months. One is because Bernard (O Fatih positioned himself on the left “wing” of the attack under Derim), or because there may be other rearrangements along the way.
There are already specific goals with his information Sports 24 Noting from Mexico (among other cases) the “Greens” have long… kept the door open, but also the channel of communication with Uriel Aduna's side.
54 times (with 14 goals) international Mexican winger, actively used the “greens” in January 2023 and will claim the CONCACAF Nations League title tomorrow (25/3) in the final against the USA, now free in three months Cruz Azul and it is certain that he will not continue in Mexico, for him Rejected two renewal proposals submitted.
Within 16 goals, he wants to leave in the summer
The 26-year-old winger – with 10 goals and 6 assists in 26 official games this year – has decided to leave the Cruz Azul, preferring to return to Europe after 6 years to mature and be “ready”. He had a successful run from Manchester City's second team in 19–20 and was loaned to Groningen.
His representatives have offers from an MLS club and Brazil, but his No. 1 target for Atuna is Europe and a team that will offer him a leading role and the chance to claim titles and compete in European Cups. The “package” that Panathinaikos could offer him in full, distinguished by long-term analytical scouting and constant monitoring of his development, showed that he had the competitive elements he was looking for on the edges of the attack and could raise his position.
Aduna's association with the side has been long-standing and the Mexican winger will be very busy with “Clover”, probably with “suitors” piling up before the summer arrives.
After all, in the last two years, he has shown (dis) that it is “successful” where no one expected it. And that could be the next “link” in this chain…
