Report – Panathanaikos Buy Full Playing Rights Of Greece Star From Inter Milan | OneFootball

Panathanaikos have bought back the full playing rights of fullback Georgios Vagiannidis from Inter Milan.

This according to Greek newspaper Gazzetta, via FCInterNews.

The player himself stated that the likes of Manchester City and Monaco had also chased him. But he decided upon a move to Inter instead.

Vagiannidis spent the 2020-21 season on loan with Sint-Truiden in Belgium. However, it was not a successful loan spell for the Greek.

Vagiannidis made just one appearance for Sint-Truiden across the entire 2020-21 campaign. This came in a cup match.

Therefore, it was little surprise when Inter allowed the Greek to rejoin Panathanaikos.

Just twelve months after signing for the Nerazzurri on a free transfer, Vagiannidis made the return to his boyhood club on a free transfer.

Inter may not have sold Vagiannidis back to Panathanaikos for a fee.

However, the deal did include an agreement that the Nerazzurri would receive a percentage of resale on any future transfer if the Athens team were to sell the defender in the future.

The total amount that Inter would have been entitled to for a sale of Vagiannidis would have been 37.5%.

However, reports Greek newspaper Gazzetta, Panathanaikos have bought out that part of the playing rights of the 24-year-old.

According to the newspaper, the total fee that the Greek giants have paid to Inter is a little over €2 million.
