Kikanovitch wants to join Almeida’s “terrorist” group

Published

on

Bosnian-born, American attacking midfielder Benjamin Kikanovic remains a burning desire of the AEK coach and he is keen to join the team after seeing what Orbelin Pineda has achieved.

The attempt last January failed but AEK never stopped waiting for the next opportunity to dress the 23-year-old winger in yellow and black Benjamin Kikanovich. Which he’s trying to do now, as Matias Almeida’s desire to acquire him remains insatiable.

From then to now, nothing substantial has changed in terms of the money the Union is willing to give to take on the Bosnian-born American midfielder.

Kikanovic himself hasn’t deviated from what he wanted then, which was to leave MLS and try it in Europe, under the tutelage of a coach who knows he’ll use him to the best of his ability. Just like this year with Orbelin Pineda, another football kid of Matias Almeida.

Contacts between the two teams are active, the San Jose Earthquakes appreciated the fact that the footballer remained faithful to the commitments of the team in the American league and was committed, but it cannot be overlooked that the footballer’s desire is to win the to change continent.

The topic is certainly open

Apparently with the right price, which AEK was unwilling to pay a few months ago. But maybe he’s getting a lot closer now and making a proposal that will help close the deal. Always within reason…

The topic is definitely open, you could say with the latest information that you are on the right track. After all, AEK had never closed that door and maintained contacts with San Jose transfer staff officials.

Last January, the American team – I had the right – extended cooperation with the footballer, but in consultation with Kikanovic had promised Kikanovic to be open to any discussion about his concession.

One could argue that AEK is in control of the player since Almeida is so active in this case. He is a footballer who believes a lot and will stand up for him, as he did for Pineda, as long as there is financial normality in the negotiations.

But with both the Union manager and the San Jose footballer so keen to work together again, AEK seems to be the one pulling the strings and it will depend on their own actions if they pull it off to get him.

Finally, Sarlia and Panathinaikos opt for two stoppers

Published

By

Zvonimir Sarlia is a thing of the past at Panathinaikos as his contract has expired and the cooperation between the two sides will not be renewed.

After the latest developments in the case of Dimitris Kourbelis, who already traveled to Turkey this morning (2/6) to complete his transfer to Trabzonspor, and also the departure of Facundo Sanchez to AEK Larnaca, Panathinaikos is now a thing of the past Zvonimir Sarlia.

The Croatian stopper is free at the end of the month and the “Greens” wanted to keep him for another two years as a “second line” option in the rotation behind Bart Senkefeld, Hordur Magnusson and the central defender, who anyway or otherwise was the purchase for him planned for summer.

However, the negotiations that started a few days ago between the “Cloverleaf” and Sarlia’s side showed from the beginning a very large distance in the financial part.

Panathinaikos wanted to keep Sarlia, who had a satisfactory season and was good in most games he had to play, either as a replacement for Magnuson or as a replacement behind Schenkefeld. That year he made a total of 24 appearances in Stoiximan Super League, Novibet Hellenic Cup and Europe (1,997 minutes) with 2 assists, which he provided with the same number of headers on Palasios and Sporar’s winning goals in the two games in “Vikelidis”.

However, there was no financial convergence, as although the “Clover” offered him a small increase in his salary from his first contract (he received around 300,000 euros), Sarlia’s demands were much higher (he may also have had an offer from others). Group).

It was very difficult to reach an agreement given the facts on the negotiating table and on Friday morning (2/6) Panathinaikos officially announced that the Croatian centre-back will not stay in the team.

Oper means the ‘Klee’ will move to sign two centre-backs this summer as Achilleas Poungouras also leaves the team (unless there is a reversal of his own situation).

However, the one transfer absolutely needs to happen (and will happen) before the start of summer training, as since the departure of Sarlia Panathinaikos now has 2+1 options in central defence: Senkefeld, Magnuson and Giorgos Sideras, who is expected to move to the first team will stabilize as the fifth choice among the stoppers.
