Benitez Requests €10 Million Player for Panathinaikos

With the transfer window in Greece closing on February 6th, Rafa Benitez has requested the acquisition of up to five players for Panathinaikos. Among them is Mika Mormol, a defender from Las Palmas, who has attracted interest due to his market value (currently €10 million, with a previous increase to €14 million) and his background as a product of the Barcelona academy. Mormol is an athletic defender, capable of playing both as a center-back and a left-back, with the ability to carry the ball and break through opposing midfields. His acquisition is a personal choice of Benitez, as he is considered ideal for the style of play he wants to implement in the team.
