Information suggests that Panathinaikos, which is searching for a left-back to partner Giorgos Kyriakopoulos, is considering Victor Kristiansen of Leicester. The 23-year-old Danish player has 18 caps for his country and a contract with the English team until 2028. Panathinaikos's coach, Jakub Nistrup, knows Kristiansen from their time together at Copenhagen, where he worked with the player from the start of his career until his January 2023 transfer for a reported £17 million.
While Kristiansen's market value is now around €9 million, the primary concern is a knee problem that restricted him to six appearances in the season that just ended. The club's officials want to ensure this problem has been resolved before they prioritize the Danish player among their targets. FC Copenhagen has also been linked with the player. It was reported that in June 2026, a fee of £5 million was considered a good deal for him.
