Jean-Charles deal almost done
Panathinaikos are closing in on Livio Jean-Charles, the 30-year-old French big man (1). Željko Obradović wants a French trio in the frontcourt, and Jean-Charles brings 207 EuroLeague games of experience across spells with Baskonia, Anadolu Efes, and Olympiacos (1).
Only details remain. The deal would pair him with two other French bigs already on the roster, giving Obradović the physical, versatile front line he has been building since his return (1).
De Vrij is close, and Feyenoord never saw it coming
Stefan de Vrij is on the verge of signing with Panathinaikos (2). Twelve Serie A seasons, a veteran Dutch international, nobody who watched him at Feyenoord predicted this path. Former teammate Kaj Ramsteijn did not hold back: "He was a clumsy kid at Feyenoord, nobody expected this" (2).
Your club is not messing around. Obradović returns, season tickets surge, and now De Vrij and Jean-Charles walking through the door.
