“Nicolo has always been at the center of our thoughts, he is the right player, in his prime, a player we were looking for as the emblem of the team player on top of having unquestionable skills. To be able to bring him back, after six years and a great career abroad is the reason for us to be extremely proud. This is a happy day for all of us,” said general manager Christos Stavropoulos in a club-released statement.
