They do not rest in Greece with the case of Dimitris Christofis. Another report by contra.gr makes extensive reference to the contract of Dimitris Christofis as it was written last Friday, except that the news from today's report of the Greek website is that the player himself is "baked" for Panathinaikos and not for PAOK, which also seems to be interested in the international ace of Omonia, according to the information from Greece.
Detailed post:
Panathinaikos' first reason for the international Cypriot winger of Omonia Dimitris Christofis, the player's preference for the "greens", the two things that currently "brake" "Lympe" and the preparation of the market before the decisions of Ouzounidis in May.
The season is slowly coming to an end, with the finish of the regular season and the first Cup semifinals on Holy Week, however Panathinaikos have already started the preparation of the summer, transfer planning and the first stage of their contacts. Focusing mainly -at this phase- on cases of "free" players who have piqued the attention of Nikos Lymperopoulos.
One of them is the winger of Omonia, Dimitris Christofi, whose name was brought to the fore last Friday (31/3) by Contra.gr. Let's see how the data is at the moment. For the 27-year-old, international extreme midfielder of the Cypriot team, both the technical director of the "greens" and Marinos Ouzounidis, who has an excellent image of the "market" of Megalonisos, have a very good opinion.
Panathinaikos has already fired shots θέσεις intentions on the part of Christofis and sees that there is very suitable ground, since he himself wants to try once again his forces off the island, after his two-year passage through the Swiss Zion ( 2013-15). Much more mature now, "… at the best of his age" as a man who is "connected" to the case and the first (informal) circle of contacts used to say, with "Jimmy" (as his nickname in Cyprus) counting the this season 7 goals and 7 assists in 24 official matches with the "clovers" of Omonia.
It is "baked" for Panathinaikos
In the contract signed in 2015 by the Cypriot ace with Omonia, when Christofi returned from Switzerland, there is indeed a term "freedom" without financial consideration, if he receives a proposal from a team outside Cyprus that will offer him a contract of 250.000 euros per year . An amount that is exactly within the "limits" and the… ball that "Lympe" will play in the summer transfer moves of Panathinaikos. For the 27-year-old ace, interest also emerged from PAOK, but he seems to have a preference for the "greens", since he estimates that at Panathinaikos he will have much more space and time to play a much clearer role.
Sure about "proprietary"
Where is the issue currently braking? First to the fact that in the "clover" they want to be absolutely sure about the ownership status of the footballer, before they make a much more formal move. In simple words, Lymperopoulos first wants Christofis's contract with Omonia to become a leaf and a feather, in order to find out if there is even an "ambiguity" or a "gray zone" in the term of release or if things are as the player's side. That is, the term "freedom" is absolutely valid. Because he would not want to "open" a case with a vague property landscape and spend time, as happened last January with the Israeli midfielder, Omri Altman of Hapoel Tel Aviv. And for this reason his name is not going to be "confirmed" unofficially or officially, if the people of Panathinaikos do not first have a clear picture of the player's contract with Omonia and whether he has the right to remain "free".
The final "candidates"
The second point, which holds Lyberopoulos a little further back on the issue, has to do with the final "sampling" of the candidates. Panathinaikos will move in the summer for a winger, possibly for two depending on the development of the Eboku case. However, despite what is being leaked from Italy about Chievo's positive intentions to extend the Congolese loan, Panathinaikos is well aware that the issue of Eboku is not going to be clarified before August (since it is clear that the Italian team will seek to find a buyer to sell him for money that the "greens" can not approach), in the "clover" they want to close a "front" to the wingers much earlier.
The "first reason"
And that's why their first fireballs on the market concern extreme midfielders, with Christofis' name already at the top of the "green" list. Without, however, being the only… There is, however, an "informal" agreement between the two sides for Panathinaikos to have τον the first say in its case. And this is a strong "paper" for the "greens", who have informed the footballer's people that they will now have a much clearer picture of "whether we move forward or not" by mid-May ".
