Panathinaikos is considering acquiring Mario Lemina in the last few hours, as they seek to add another midfielder after signing Azzedine Ounahi. The 32-year-old Gabonese international is a defensive midfielder who can also play as a number eight. For Gabon, he has 43 caps and 5 goals. The former Juventus and Marseille player is currently with Galatasaray, where he is under contract until the summer of 2028. His future at the Istanbul club is considered uncertain and a transfer is a possibility. A potential move for the midfielder, who joined his current club in February 2025, would be to strengthen the team for domestic competitions, as he would not be eligible to play in the League Phase of the Conference League. According to an estimate by Transfermarkt, he has a market value of €4.50m and has also been linked with İstanbul Başakşehir.
