Rotation against Kifisia, and Salah-Eddine wants in
Jakob Neestrup is set to change his lineup against Kifisia, with Anas Salah-Eddine pushing for a start (2). That is your next match, and a heavy rotation says a lot about how Neestrup sees his squad right now. Your team goes into it unbeaten in the league, 12 points from four games, top of the table on +9.
Salah-Eddine loan agreed, buy option in the €4m to €5m range
Panathinaikos have agreed the loan deal for Anas Salah-Eddine, with the purchase option sitting between €4m and €5m (1). That number is the whole story here. If he settles, the club knows the price before it decides anything.
Kotsolis gets full marks for the window
Stefanos Kotsolis is rated 100% for the transfer window, and the verdict is simple: job done (7). Twelve additions came in, and the squad has been lightened so Neestrup has a workable group. The names now on the books include Ounahi, Louza, Kangwa, van Drongelen, Rastoder, Peña, Tsapras, Kamara, Levi García, Salah-Eddine, de Vrij and Chaves (7).
September 16, 1970: the first step to Wembley
On this date in 1970, Panathinaikos beat Jeunesse Esch 2–1 in Luxembourg in the first round, with goals from Antonis Antoniadis and Kostas Elefterakis (4). Ferenc Puskás was the coach. That win was the first step toward the 1971 Wembley final (4).
Fan reactions
The mood on r/Panathinaikos is split between a transfer win and a legal headache. Elektra Tjurdjević's arrival from PAOK has the sub buzzing, the kind of signing that lands straight in the feed. The other thread doing numbers is the legal trouble involving Sisoko and Tsirivela, and fans are not treating that one lightly. Join the Tjurdjević thread
