Negotiations between Panathinaikos and Godoy Cruz for the transfer of Santino Antino are ongoing, with continuous changes to the terms of the agreement. Godoy Cruz is constantly adding new requirements, regarding amounts, bonuses, payment methods, and even the currency of the transaction. Panathinaikos is trying to find a compromise with the Argentinian team's demands, in order to avoid the transfer falling through.
