According to "Sport 24" portal, the brilliant Argentinian would be the final piece of Obradović's puzzle, completing the Greens' roster for the upcoming season.
Reportedly, Obradović is looking for a point guard to be his on-court extension and a player with strong leadership qualities, a profile Facundo Campazzo perfectly fits. The aforementioned source states that even the fact that the former Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet playmaker has a valid contract with Real Madrid won't deter Panathinaikos, who are prepared to spend whatever it takes to fulfill the legendary Čačak native's wish.
His potential signing would complete the Athenian squad, which has already been bolstered by Mustafa Fall, Isaac Bonga, Guerschon Yabusele, and Brancou Badio. In recent days, there were whispers of the Greek giant's interest in Ricky Rubio, who ultimately decided to remain with his Joventut team.
The Greens have seen departures, with Džedi Osman soon to join PAOK Thessaloniki, where Vasilis Toliopoulos also moved. Juancho Hernangómez is also expected to leave, while the fate of veteran Jerian Grant remains uncertain.
