A fan favorite is back in green as Panathinaikos Athens has returned forward Ioannis Papapetrou to the Greek capital on a two-year deal until the end of the 2024-25 season. Papapetrou (2.06 meters, 29 years old) returns from a one-year stint with Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade and rejoins Panathinaikos, the club whose uniform he wore between 2018 and 2022.
"I am very happy to have returned to my family," Papapetrou said. "There is great excitement and huge motivation on my part. I don't want to say much now; the rest will be discussed on the court. I would like from the bottom of my heart to thank Mr. Dimitris Giannakopoulos, the Panathinaikos organization and the world for the love they show me. See you at OAKA."
