Giorgos Printezis, a fan of Olympiacos, not only made his childhood dream come true by playing for his team, but he is also going to be synonymous with the Reds at least until the summer of 2017. Despite the fact that mainly CSKA Moscow and also Galatasaray and Anadolu Efes were interested on him
No financial details of his new deal with Olympiacos were announced, however Printezis is the second best paid of Olympiacos and according to Eurohoops sources his salary for the upcoming season will be one million euros net. The Russians and the Turks were ready to pay him even more, but he decided to stay in Olympiacos after a surprisingly short negotiation. After all the club recognized what he has offered the team all those years and Printezis himself was not eager to leave.
After all at the summer of 2017 with two short breaks at Olimpia Larisa on loan and at Unicaja Malaga, Printezis will have played in total for 16 seasons under Olympiacos’ jersey. Τhe contract was officially signed on the 8th of July.
