De Vrij and Rastoder join the squad
Stefan de Vrij and Elmin Rastoder trained with Panathinaikos for the first time on Tuesday (2) (4). Both signings are now officially part of Nistrup's group ahead of the new season. De Vrij arrives after eight years at Inter (3). The club also announced a contract through 2027, with an option for an extra year (3).
First friendly: Helmond away
You get your first look at Nistrup's Panathinaikos on Saturday. The team face Helmond in a friendly, the opening match of preseason (1). It will be broadcast live, and it is the first real test of how the new pieces fit together.
De Vrij's presentation turns heads
The official unveiling was not your standard press conference. Panathinaikos presented De Vrij with a piano performance, and the Dutchman played for the cameras (3). The video spread fast. After nearly a decade at Inter, he looks ready for a new chapter in green.
Fan-reaktioner
Fans are split on the two arrivals. The De Vrij deal to 2027 landed well, with supporters calling it a statement of intent. The Rastoder move has drawn more skepticism, with some questioning the €3m fee and the involvement of Acun Ilıcalı's network. See what fans are saying.
