Panathinaikos Initiates Contact with Nantes for Lafont Transfer

Panathinaikos has made initial contact with Nantes regarding the potential acquisition of Alban Lafont in the summer. The Ivorian goalkeeper, currently on loan at Panathinaikos without a purchase option, has impressed and the club's administration is seriously considering the prospect of a permanent transfer. Despite interest in the return of Odysseas Vlachodimos, Panathinaikos aims to build a strong goalkeeping duo. Nantes does not consider Lafont a key player, and he is positive about remaining with the team, with the initial discussions suggesting a potential agreement at a reasonable price. The Lafont case is gaining momentum as the administration sees him as a reliable goalkeeper for the future.
