Panathinaikos is observing Giorgos Athanasiadis as part of a plan to restructure the club's goalkeeper options for the new season. Athanasiadis is a 33-year-old Greek goalkeeper who is having a good season with Aris. The club intends to sign two goalkeepers, and according to a widespread belief in football circles, one of the new additions will be Greek. Athanasiadis is among several players under consideration, including Vasilis Barkas, as the club openly evaluates the market before making a transfer. Athanasiadis has one cap for the Greek national team and his contract with Aris is valid until June 2026. His current valuation on Transfermarkt is €600k. The Turkish club Alanyaspor has also been linked with the goalkeeper.
