According to Turkish media, Gaziantep is ready to fully cover the contract of the 30-year-old Slovenian, whose annual salary in Panathinaikos is 850 thousand euros. Apparently, we are talking about a lease until the end of the season.
The name of the second contender for Verbic remains unknown.
Recall, Verbic at the start of the season was excluded from all bids of his club, as the head coach of Panathinaikos Diego Alonso does not count on him. The winger's contract with the Greek club runs until next summer.
