Panathinaikos Athens are continuing to rebuild the team player after player. This time, a new signing might come from the NBA.

According to Georgios Zakkas from SDNA, the Greek club is close to a deal with Juancho Hernangomez. The information was first reported by Giannis Dedopoulos on ERA Sport radio.

The NBA was still the priority for Hernangomez but Panathinaikos made a push to sign the player, and the two sides are nearing a deal, Zakkas reports.

Led by the newly-signed head coach Ergin Ataman, Panathinaikos have completely revamped the team with just a few players from the last year's team remaining on the roster. Most notably, Kostas Sloukas made a stunning move transferring from Olympiacos Piraeus to the Greek capital.

Recently, Panathinaikos agreed to pay the buyout to Dreamland Gran Canaria for Aleksander Balcerowski.
