Panathinaikos Announces Chaves Signing and Details of Pantelidis Deal

Panathinaikos is actively involved in the January transfer window, announcing the signing of Lucas Chaves, an Argentinian goalkeeper from Argentinos Juniors on a six-month loan with a purchase option of $1 million. Simultaneously, the transfer of Pavlos Pantelidis is progressing, with the player joining the Greens six months ahead of the original agreement. As part of the deal with Kifissia, Panathinaikos will offer 'player exchanges', however, Daniel Mancini prefers to stay at the club. The possibility of Giorgos Nikas moving to Kifissia is also being considered, although the player himself prefers a move abroad. Panathinaikos expects to finalize its transfer business by January 7th, focusing on signing a left-back, a central midfielder, and a left winger.
