Panathinaikos to Include Record-Breaking Release Clause in Antino's Contract

Panathinaikos is in the final stages of securing the transfer of Argentinian footballer Santino Antino, demonstrating a strong commitment to completing the deal. The club appears to have exceeded financial limits to acquire him, indicating their high regard for the player. Reports suggest that Antino's contract will include a release clause unprecedented in the context of the Super League. While transfer rumors are often exaggerated, this particular clause is expected to be substantial. The clause is not anticipated to reach €50 million, but is estimated to be around €30-35 million. This would be a historic event for the Greek league, as such a high release clause has never been seen for a player competing in Greece. The success of the transfer will depend on Antino's performance on the field and his ability to meet the expectations that have been created. The club hopes that this investment will yield results and significantly strengthen their squad.
