To Greece’s leaders
Tymoteusz Puchacz will leave Union Berlin for Athens in January. The Polish left-back, who barely got a chance at the Irons, has opted for a transfer to Panathinaikos on a six-month loan, according to official sources. Greek and Polish media are reporting an option to buy, while Union tweets: “Stay healthy, see you in summer”.
Updated 12/30/2022; This article appeared in a first version on December 29th.Managing director Oliver Ruhnert said: “Tymoteusz is a player who urgently needs playing time. He has already shown his skills and approaches with us and we would like to give him the opportunity to prove himself again in a strong team. That’s why we decided together that a loan currently makes sense for both sides. We wish him every success in Athens and hope that he will put his development back in the right direction there.”
Awoniyi at the top: The most expensive departures from Union Berlin
Ligue 1 club RC Strasbourg Alsace and Serie A relegated Venezia FC are said to have been interested in Puchacz, but the choice fell on the Super League 1 leaders. Panathinaikos will pay the full salary of 230,000 euros for six months – one According to media reports, the rental fee is not part of the deal.
Union signed Puchacz in summer 2021 for 2.5 million euros from Lech Posen and equipped him with a contract that runs until 2025. However, the Pole could not take off with the Berliners and was loaned to Trabzonspor in January 2022 for a loan fee of 200,000 euros, where he got more playing time. That was the end of the “iron” after his return – he played once each in the DFB Cup, the Bundesliga and the Europa League this season. Since January 2021, its market value has fallen from EUR 4 million to EUR 1.5 million.
Good luck in Athens, Tymek! Stay healthy, see you in summer #fcunion
