Dutch defender Stefan de Vrij is set to continue his career in Greece. According to insider Fabrizio Romano, the 34-year-old is moving to Panathinaikos as a free agent.
Details: De Vrij will sign a contract until 2027, with an option to extend for one more season included in the deal.
The defender parted ways with Inter after his contract with the Milan club ended and is now gearing up for a new chapter in his career. For Panathinaikos, this is a significant boost to their backline, bringing in a player with years of top-level experience in Italy.
On Monday, de Vrij is set to fly to Athens. Upon arrival in Greece, he will undergo a medical, which will be the final step before putting pen to paper on his contract.
If everything goes according to plan, the transfer will be finalized in the coming days. Panathinaikos is landing a free agent with vast international experience, while de Vrij gets the chance to start a new chapter after his spell at Inter.
Reminder: Earlier, we reported that Real Madrid is targeting Italy's star defender.
