Panathinaikos ‘flirting’ with Falcao, closing in on David
By: Peter Katsiris | January 17th, 2009
The South American touch to Panathinaikos’ wheeling and dealing in the transfer market continues to be a presence in January, as reports in Greece and in Argentina link the Athenians to highly rated Argentine Radamel Falcao García Zárate. Simply known as Falcao, the 22-year-old has been linked with a move to Athens this winter.
Currently employed by Argentine giants River Plate, Falcao has acknowledged Panathinaikos’ interest but did little to clear up the situation. “I know something about a proposal from Panathinaikos, but I will have to study it further. Greek football has grown substantially in recent years, and a proposal does capture my interest; with that being said, I feel very comfortable with River Plate.”
Recently named in the Time’s Top 50 stars of tomorrow, the versatile striker is likely to attract interest from many big clubs across Europe. If Panathinaikos can secure a transfer by the end of the month, it will certainly be a huge gain for Henk Ten Cate’s side.
Panathinaikos knocking on David’s door
While the Falcao transfer fiasco lacks clarity, the forecast for Panathinaikos’ swoop of free agent David looks more promising. The former Palmeiras player is open for a free transfer to Greece, and with documentation said to be completed, it appears only a medical and an official announcement is keeping Panathinaikos from its first capture of the winter.
