Panathinaikos Close to Signing Santino Antino for a Significant Fee

Panathinaikos is on the verge of securing the signing of Argentinian winger Santino Antino from Godoy Cruz. The Greek club has been making a strong effort to acquire the player, who is keen to join them, despite initial reluctance from the Godoy Cruz management, who reportedly favored a move to River Plate. Panathinaikos has submitted a bid of €10.2 million for 75% of Antino's rights, with a commitment to pay an additional €3.4 million after two years to acquire the remaining 25% and full ownership. Journalist Herman Garcia Grova, close to the Godoy Cruz president, reports that the agreement is almost finalized, confirming Panathinaikos' strong desire to sign the player.
