As a result of having already played for Legia Warsaw and Al-Wahda in the current campaign, Carlitos will not be able to represent Panathinaikos in an official game until the 2019/2020 season begins.

Carlitos joined Al-Wahda from Legia in September, subsequently scoring five goals in nine league games in Qatar. In the past, Carlitos has also played for the likes of Petrotest, Novelda, Aris Limassol, Villarreal B and Wisla Krakow. Incidentally, in the summer, the 29-year-old forward participated in the two UEFA Europa League qualifiers against Atromitos, as Legia triumphed 2-0 on aggregate.

“I am very happy to be here,” revealed Carlitos after he had signed his contract with Panathinaikos. “I understand the history of this great club, and I can’t wait to begin training with the team. As soon as Xavi Roca explained Panathinaikos’ plans to me, I immediately wanted to come here. I told my agent that I only wanted to join Panathinaikos. I am an honest footballer who works hard for the team, striving for the best. I will do everything in order to make the supporters happy. In my career, I have won several individual awards, but this time I want to win a trophy with my team. My goal is to win a competition with Panathinaikos.”

ARMENAKAS LEAVES

Panagiotis Armenakas, who failed to show his ability in Athens, has left Panathinaikos:

“Panathinaikos FC announces the termination of its contract with Panos Armenakas. The attacking midfielder joined in January 2019, playing in three games for the Trifylli. We wish him all of the best in his career.”

The 21-year-old winger, a citizen of both Australia and Greece, did not make a single appearance for Panathinaikos in the 2019/2020 season.

SECHOU TO MOVE ON LOAN TO BOLOGNA

One of the most talented players in the Panathinaikos system, Christos Sechou, is set to move on loan to Bologna for the remainder of the 2019/2020 campaign. Sechou is expected to play for the Bologna youth team in the Primavera.

The Italian club will have the opportunity to purchase Sechou in the summer.

Sechou, 19, has not been able to force his way into the Panathinaikos first team after impressing with strong showings for the junior side.
