Leicester appeared positive about the possibility of releasing Victor Kristiansen on loan with a purchase option. The purchase option is not automatic and will only be activated if Kristiansen plays in at least 50% of the team's matches, with each qualifying appearance lasting a minimum of 45 minutes. If Kristiansen does not reach the required appearances, Panathinaikos will have the option to seek another solution in the winter transfer window. The player will undergo standard medical examinations and a specialized medical check in a center in Italy because Panathinaikos wants to ensure he has fully overcome injury problems from the previous season. The negotiations were structured to minimize economic risk for Panathinaikos. If Kristiansen demonstrates he has recovered from his injury, Panathinaikos will acquire an international player with significant experience and high resale value.
