Stefanos Kotsolis wants Toni Fruk at Panathinaikos immediately, arguing that in the summer more teams from superior leagues will compete for the Croatian international. As the transfer window is closed in most countries and Rijeka has not received serious offers for Fruk, Panathinaikos could present Rijeka with a difficult decision and potentially sign Fruk with a serious offer that is not for 10 or 8 million euros. Panathinaikos has prepared by working with Fruk and his agent; both want the move and are ready to pressure Rijeka if Panathinaikos submits an offer. The transfer is currently on hold because coach Rafa Benitez prefers to wait until the summer for a high-profile and expensive number 10, who could be Fruk or an alternative, Jagusic. The transfer might still happen just before the deadline if Benitez gives his approval, but as of Monday, he had not given it.
