Torino and Panathinaikos are interested in signing Baltika's 25-year-old Malian international defender Natan Gassama. A source familiar with the situation stated that both clubs have made offers for the player, but the Kaliningrad team rejected them because the sums were too low. The source also stated that Baltika's asking price for Gassama is €5 million. There had also been reported interest in the defender from PAOK and AEK during the spring of the current year. Gassama, who has been capped 6 times for Mali, has a contract with the club until June 2028. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €1.50m. In the 2025/2026 Premier Liga season, he made 39 appearances and provided 3 assists.
