Currently, the status of the footballer who played at the Euro 2024 is also “breaking,” but he is not in the squad of the Slovenian national team this time. Benjamin Verbič is sidelined at Panathinaikos, as the club did not register him to play in Europe, and he is not getting opportunities in the league either. However, even though the green-and-whites clearly do not count on him, they are playing a “hard game” regarding the footballer’s status. The winger has found himself on the wish list of APOEL, and the Cypriots knocked on the door of Panathinaikos and presented their offer. In the end, they returned to Nicosia, where the experienced Slovenian goalkeeper Vid Belec also plays, empty-handed.
According to Greek media reports, APOEL sent an official offer for Verbič, but the giant from Athens did not accept it. The reason? It was not good enough, or the Greeks demanded more than the Cypriots were willing to pay. This sounds rather unusual, to say the least. If they do not count on him, it should be in their interest to get rid of him one way or another. But evidently, the management of Panathinaikos thinks differently, and the transfer to APOEL has fallen through.
Regardless of everything, it is not expected that Benjamin Verbič will remain a member of Panathinaikos for long. Greek media hint that the next scenario is a premature termination of cooperation, which, according to the signed contract, should still be valid for another year…
