Eddie Salcedo has 9 goals in 20 league matches and 12 overall this season. Sportdog.gr reported that Panathinaikos are seriously interested in him. The club has been closely monitoring Salcedo for months and has already initiated some actions to bring him to Athens. Salcedo has been informed that he is being assessed for a possible summer transfer to Panathinaikos during the match against Olympiacos.

Evangelos Michos mentioned on the football show "Hat Trick Show" that Eddie Salcedo is a player whose talent and characteristics are attracting attention. It was also mentioned that Salcedo is particularly liked by Baldini and that a possible transfer to Panathinaikos is a possibility.

A rumor circulating among Greek agents suggests that a summer move to Panathinaikos for Italian-Colombian centre-forward Eddie Salcedo is possible. This is partly because his two-year contract is ending, making him a free agent. It is reported that all of Greece's 'Big 4' are monitoring the player. Salcedo is also attracting interest from Serie A. Salcedo is expected to be the second of three planned transfers from the Super League for Panathinaikos, following Tsapras. The 24-year-old has had a second good season with OFI, fits the age profile sought by Benitez, and has resale value. His background includes Inter paying €10 million to Genoa for him at age 17.5. Salcedo is represented by the Wasserman agency. This agency has a good relationship with Baldini, who is an Italian consultant to Alafouzos. This detail could become relevant if the deal progresses. In the current Super League 1 season, Salcedo has scored 9 goals and provided 1 assist in 19 appearances. According to Transfermarkt, the former Italy U21 international has a current market value of €1.00m.
