THE Alban Lafond has clearly expressed his desire to continue his career at Panathinaicwatching the “clover” as the ideal opportunity for a new start. After a difficult season at Nantes, where he stayed out of plans and only competed with the second team in National 3, 26 -year -old French goalkeeper is looking for a way out.
The ‘Greens’ have moved vigorously to acquire it, but Nanz appears unmatched. Although Luis Castro does not count on him, the French club asks about 1m euros for borrowing and insists on a mandatory market clause, which can reach € 5 million, depending on the entries.
These are demands that are considered excessive, given his inaction, his presence in the second team and the player’s clear intention to leave. Nevertheless, Panathinaikos remains ‘warm’ In the case, recognizing Lafond’s quality and experience, which in good shape can be a reference point under the beams.
On the list and Blanco
At the same time Panathinaikos examines other solutions for the goalkeeper’s position, with the Ruben Blanco also be on the list of candidates. THE 29 -year -old Spanish He belongs to Marseille, but his presence in the French team did not evolve as he would like. Last season (2024/25) he did not record a minute of participation, and in three years with the Massalus he has only 12 appearances, which shows that he never managed to establish himself.
Blanco is a product of the academies of Thelta, with which he made his professional debut at the age of 18. It has gone through all the small scales of the Spanish national teams and is considered a goalkeeper with experience, good positioning and a calm style of play. Despite his racing stagnation in France, there remains a stable and affordable choice that can offer reliability under the beams.
Panathinaikos is closely watching his case, as he is a player who can offer immediately. His high -level experience, coupled with his need for racing reboot, make him a realistic and attractive alternative in relation to Lafond’s most complicated case.
