Ingason out with a very serious injury
Ingvi Ingason has suffered a very serious injury, and it is forcing your club into the market for a centre-back (2). The Icelandic defender is a key piece at the back. No timeline yet on his return, but the severity has Panathinaikos moving quickly.
Čardaklija confirms the interest
Anes Čardaklija knows your club is watching. The 21-year-old GAIS centre-back told Swedish media he has spoken with his agent about Panathinaikos (2). "I heard from Joke, the club's head of transfers, that there has been some discussion about Panathinaikos. I also spoke a bit with my agent, so I have heard some things," Čardaklija said (2).
Cup-tied in Europe already
One catch: Čardaklija has already played Conference League qualifiers for GAIS against Nordsjælland this season (2). That means he would be ineligible for any European qualifiers with Panathinaikos if the deal goes through.
Fan reactions
The early reaction on Reddit is positive. One fan called Čardaklija a very good option, noting the 21-year-old was among the standout performers for a GAIS side that finished third in Sweden last season. Read the full discussion here.
