Panathinaikos has completed the signing of Argentinian winger Sanidino Antino from Godoy Cruz for around €8 million. The transfer was challenging, as Godoy Cruz president Jose Mansour was particularly demanding. Ultimately, the personal involvement of Panathinaikos owner Giannis Alafouzos, who spoke directly with the player and his family, as well as with Mansour, brought about the desired outcome. Rafa Benitez also played a role, as Antino dreams of playing in the Premier League and believes Benitez can help him achieve that goal.
