The American guard from Partizan who was about to sign for Barcelona, Kevin Punter, opened up in an interview for Mano Fyrogenis from BNSport.
The player acknowledged negotiations with the Barça club and Panthinaikos. “We had conversations with both of them. There was also interest from Türkiye. There were offers, yes. It’s normal in summer,” he acknowledged.
Asked about the reasons for continuing in Partizan and ruling out the rest of the teams, Punter explained: “the coach’s style of play has been key, I’ve been here for two years and I’m the captain. I always wanted to feel comfortable here. Teams succeed over time: maintaining an experienced core of players”.
The relationship between the player and his coach is magnificent: “I’ve been playing for him for two years and we’ll work together for another two. It demands a lot from you, it asks you to be great. he is a fantastic personincredibly humble and utterly modest despite all the titles he’s won.”
Despite the fact that the president of Partizan himself thanked Punter for staying despite the fact that his offer was “slightly lower than that of Barça”, the American assured that “money has never been the main factorfor your decisions.
