Panathinaikos is eyeing a move for Nigel Williams-Goss. A big offer is ready for the Zalgiris Kaunas point guard

Panathinaikos Athens is trying to buy Nigel Williams-Goss from Zalgiris Kaunas.

The former Olympiacos player is a target of the club coached by Zeljko Obradovic. Nigel Williams-Goss is under contract with Zalgiris, but Panathinaikos is making a strong push to acquire the player.

As Urbonas anticipated, Panathinaikos is negotiating with the player. As reported to BeBasket, PAO is offering nearly double the player’s contract to force an exit from Zalgiris Kaunas.

Negotiations are ongoing; we’ll see if the parties reach an agreement now.

Nigel Williams-Goss is an American point guard known for his playmaking, leadership, and defensive intensity. After starring at the University of Washington and Gonzaga, he was selected in the second round of the 2017 NBA Draft. He began his professional career in Europe with Partizan Belgrade before joining Olympiacos, where he established himself as one of the EuroLeague’s top guards. Following a season with the Utah Jazz in the NBA, he returned to Europe, playing for Lokomotiv Kuban and later Real Madrid, where he won the 2023 EuroLeague title. In 2023, Williams-Goss rejoined Olympiacos, helping the club capture the 2025 Greek League championship and remain among Europe’s elite. In the summer of 2025, he signed with Žalgiris Kaunas, bringing his experience and two-way ability to another EuroLeague contender.
