Italian 'Boom': Panathinaikos in the Race for Francisco!

Panathinaikos has entered the race to sign French guard Jacee Francisco from Zalgiris. Italian journalist Andrea Calzoni reports that Panathinaikos is among the teams strongly pursuing his signature. However, his acquisition will not be easy, as Efes has already made a very high offer, while Barcelona has also expressed interest. Francisco possesses the characteristics that Panathinaikos coach Ergin Ataman is looking for, as he is a player who can break down defenses and run the floor.
