Panathinaikos detonated the bomb with Giri Kovar. The 33-year-old Italian winger, who has played in the Italian league for 14 years, is set to significantly strengthen the Greens in the new year. He will play for the Greens for a year while PAE Panathinaikos, who covered his contract, made a significant contribution to completing the transfer.
