According to Novi list, Greek club Panathinaikos is very interested in Toni Fruk, who was named the best player of the Croatian Football League (HNL) in 2025 by the captains' choice. Contact has been established between the clubs and negotiations are underway, and Pao is ready to pay ten million euros. If Rijeka agrees, this compensation would make Fruk the most expensive player ever to leave the club.

Panathinaikos is interested in Rijeka's 24-year-old Croatian footballer Toni Fruk, as the Greek club seeks a permanent solution for the number eight and ten positions. It is reported that Panathinaikos is planning to offer eight million euros for Fruk, while Rijeka's president and owner is unlikely to accept less than 10 million euros. Fruk has a contract until 2027, is a target for many other European clubs, and it is considered likely that he will remain at Rijeka at least until the season concludes.
