Panathinaikos has identified Croatian attacking midfielder Toni Fruk of Rijeka as a key transfer target. Discussions with his club have begun, and according to reports, Yannis Alafouzou could submit an offer of 6 to 6.5 million euros to acquire him. Rijeka had purchased Fruk from Fiorentina for 4 million euros 2.5 years ago. There are conflicting reports regarding the amount that will be required to secure his transfer, with some sources indicating a need for around 10 million euros.
