Panathinaikos Reaches Verbal Deal to Sign Godoy Cruz’s Santino Andino for €10.2 Million

Andino chose the Athens move after a direct pitch from Rafa Benítez, with paperwork now being finalized.

Overview

  • The agreement covers 75% of Andino’s rights for €10.2 million, with an additional €3.4 million due if he is not sold within two years.
  • Lawyers for both clubs are drafting documents and payment guarantees for a contract reported through June 2029.
  • The fee would set a new record sale for Godoy Cruz and for a club from Mendoza, surpassing previous local benchmarks.
  • River Plate had a lower bid accepted in principle, but the 20-year-old prioritized a European move after Panathinaikos’ approach.
  • Andino has been training separately at Godoy Cruz as he awaits completion of the transfer.
