Pedro Vite was one of Ecuador's standout players in the recent World Cup Qualifiers doubleheader, and his performance seems to have had immediate repercussions. The young midfielder, currently playing in MLS, is reportedly on the verge of leaving North America to join a club in the old continent.
Panathinaikos of Greece is interested in signing him and has reportedly begun negotiations with Vancouver Whitecaps, who are asking for around 3 million dollars for his transfer, according to Bolavip. This possibility gains momentum following Vite's impressive performances with the national team and his explicit desire to make a competitive leap.
The 22-year-old midfielder has previously expressed his preference for the Spanish or Brazilian leagues, where compatriots like Gonzalo Plata and Enner Valencia already play. However, the interest from the Greek club could expedite his move to Europe.
Vite has played 18 matches for Ecuador, including all categories. He made his debut with the senior team in June 2023, in a friendly match where he scored a goal.
