Kotsoilis Struggles to Trim Panathinaikos Squad

Panathinaikos is currently working to reduce the size of its squad, with Stefanos Kotsoilis leading the efforts. However, the process of releasing and transferring players is proving difficult. Players Fikai and Nikas, who are intended for loan deals, remain with the team as suitable offers have not been found. Nikas has shown no interest in teams like OFI and Kifissia, while Fikai was rejected by AEL. Simultaneously, AEL expressed interest in Katris, but the player himself wishes to stay at Panathinaikos.
