Vagiannidis breaks his silence on Sporting move: I couldn’t... | OneFootball

Vagiannidis was hired by Panathinaikos for around 12 million euros in the transfer window and spoke about Sporting

Georgios Vagiannidis says he's delighted with Sporting. The right-back was hired by Panathinaikos in the summer transfer window for 12 million euros (an amount that can grow depending on the fulfillment of objectives), and spoke for the first time about the change and the time he's already spent in Alvalade.

The revelations are made in a recent interview, given by the Greek defender to BetanoMag. The conversation has not yet been published, but an excerpt was revealed by the publication itself, where Vagiannidis can be heard sharing his first impressions of the new team and his green and white teammates.

"I already expected the level to be high, but it's even higher than I thought. The players, in fact, have a lot of quality; I can't single out one. In general, the team has a lot of quality", the player who has already assisted a goal since his arrival, a short time ago, began to explain.

Georgios Vagiannidis continued, with kind words for his new teammates, also praising the hospitality of the workgroup: "The atmosphere in the locker room is fantastic. The players welcomed me very well from the first day".

"I couldn't have asked for better. The atmosphere is fantastic and my teammates have great personalities. I felt at home from the first day", completed the right-back, an international for the Greek national team, who this summer left Panathinaikos to reinforce Sporting.
