Pellistri staying put as Panathinaikos dismiss agent claims

Panathinaikos shut down Pellistri exit talk

Facundo Pellistri is not going anywhere. That is the club's firm line after his agent, Edgardo Lasalvia, claimed in Uruguay that they were looking for a way out (1).

Director of football Stefanos Kotsolis responded through Pellistri's management team, Douglas Manasseh: "Pellistri is committed to Panathinaikos and determined to work hard this year to help the team and himself" (1).

The 23-year-old winger remains a key part of the squad heading into the new season.

Fan reactions

Fans on Reddit are not taking the agent's comments lightly. The thread on Lasalvia's interview has drawn plenty of frustration, with supporters questioning the timing and the message it sends. The club's swift rebuttal has calmed some nerves, but the mood is one of irritation at the agent more than anything. See the discussion here.
