The male volleyball team of Panathinaikos is facing a mountain of problems. The huge holes in the budget of the club had a strong impact on the salaries of athletes and led key players one by one to leave the team. So in addition to financial problems the management of Panathinaikos will have to cope with the difficult task of organizing the transfer of new players, but with lower wages. The making of a team in such conditions will be a real challenge...

First quit the lines of the greens the Pole Pavel Zagumni. The master of the ball, who during the tournament was nominated for the best allocator initially wanted to remain in the team. Zagumni agreed to play at a reduced budget, which amounted to 160 thousand euro. The economic instability and problems which the club of the greens, including those of the football team, however, led "Guma" to change his plans. Moreover, no one could guarantee him that he will receive his money. So after nearly two weeks awaiting for an answer the international allocator took the final decision to return to his homeland. Currently he plays in the Polish Zhaks Kendzhiezhin. On his webpage the Pole says, "I did the best I could for myself. At the moment when Panathinaikos announced that the budget for the new year will be significantly reduced and the team will change its appearance, I decided to come back. "

After Zagumni a decision to leave the greens took also the Frenchman Guillaume Samika. Samika also had hopes to remain in the team, but the excessively long delay in response from the management again proved to be fatal... The Frenchman "stole" under the nose of the greens the Russian team Iskra. Iskra made a proposal for 400 thousand euro, which Samika could not refuse. "I spent a wonderful year. I will remember you all"- are words that Samika said to the Greek Panathinaikos, while opening a new page in his life.

After the retirement of the two major players of the greens the team is expected to leave also the Colombian Lieberman Agamez. Agamez has not yet given a final response to the proposal of the club for the next season. Despite the claims of the player's manager that the proposal is satisfactory, the chances for him to remain in the team are regarded as small.

A great chance to also leave Panathinaikos there is for the Greek Nikos Smaragdis. The experienced player received a proposal from the greens for the new season. It is not clear, however what his final decision will be, because an Italian team is taking a great interest in him, and so does his former team Iraklis.

Paradoxical and sad is the fact that so far the only one who is certainly willing to remain in the team is the coach Stelios Kazazis ...
