The option with Gaziantep is gone for Verbic. Now only Rizespor can pull him out of the trap in Panathinaikos

Former Dynamo Kyiv midfielder Benjamin Verbic, who is now a player of Greek Panathinaikos, continues his desperate attempts to escape from the trap in which he found himself in his current club.

Recall that Pao head coach Diego Alonso does not count on the 30-year-old Slovenian and dropped him from the squad at the start of the season. At the same time Verbic is bound to the Greek club with a contract until the end of the season.

At first the winger tried to move to Cypriot APOEL, but that failed to meet the financial demands of Panathinaikos. Then there was talk of Turkish Gaziantep, but, as reported by Paopantou, and this club abandoned the idea of attracting the Slovenian and switched to other options to strengthen the team.

According to the same source, the last chance for Verbic is another club in Turkey, Rizespor, which shows an active desire to attract the midfielder to their ranks. But in this situation, everything will be decided either within the next few hours or never, as today is the last day of the summer transfer window in Turkey.
