Panathinaikos AKTOR eyes Sylvain Francisko as Villerban faces financial crunch

Tony Parker's former club Villerban is struggling to meet the budget required for its planned roster, leaving the French team in a precarious financial position. The club has not secured the funds needed for the upcoming EuroLeague season, prompting uncertainty over the future of several high‑value players.

Greek side Panathinaikos AKTOR is positioned as a primary interested party for French guard Sylvain Francisko, should Villerban be forced to release him on the transfer market. The Greek club remains on standby, ready to act swiftly if the French team confirms the player’s availability.

The next 24‑48 hours are considered critical for Villerban, with expectations that the financial situation will be clarified by the end of the week. If the budget gap cannot be bridged, Villerban may have to off‑load players such as Francisko, Nick Wheeler‑Bambi, and Armoni Brooks, reshaping its roster for the new season.
