It is alleged that a Greek competitor of Panathinaikos convinced 22-year-old French defensive midfielder Etienne Camara to remain at Charleroi for the present time, with the intention of acquiring him in the summer. This would happen when two spots open on their roster, permitting him to play in the Champions League and Super League 1 as a rival of Panathinaikos. Olympiakos Piraeus has also been associated with the player. According to reports in February 2026, Panathinaikos submitted an offer of €5 million plus bonuses, which the player rejected. Camara has been capped four times for France's U20 team, is under contract with the Belgian club until June 2027, and has a current market value of €2.50m, according to Transfermarkt.
