Kostas Sloukas, who transferred from Olympiacos Piraeus to their fierce rivals Panathinaikos Athens, stated that the decision didn’t bother him at all, despite its surprising nature.

“It was an easy decision,” Sloukas told Aleksandra Radivojevic from SportsKlub. “The Panathinaikos people made it even easier for me. I am very proud to have made this move.”

Interestingly, Panathinaikos is set to go up against Olympiacos in the first EuroLeague game, and Sloukas anticipates that it will be an extremely competitive showdown.

“The games of these two clubs are always followed throughout Europe,” Sloukas said. “They are always interesting. We will fight in all the games, regardless of who will be in front of us. People should expect a fighting spirit from us until the very end.”
