Obradovic puts the brakes on Grant to Besiktas
Jerian Grant is going nowhere. Turkish reports claim Panathinaikos have stopped the guard's move to Besiktas (1). The man credited with killing the deal is Zeljko Obradovic himself. Grant is under contract until summer 2028 and remains hugely valuable to the greens (1).
Kifisia on Saturday
Your next test is at home, Sunday August 23 against Kifisia (20:00 CEST), the Super League Greece opener. After that, Levadiakos away on August 29.
Qualifying done, Deservers delivers
The Conference League run stays alive. Cyriel Dessers scored a stoppage-time winner in Sofia to beat CSKA 1948 2–1 in extra time, with Livei Garcia netting a debut goal. Neestrup called starting Dessers his biggest risk of the night, and it paid off. The club now sweat on Kyriakopoulos and Van Drongelen, both of whom felt discomfort during the match. Hradec Kralove or Besiktas stand between Panathinaikos and the league phase.
