Panathinaikos now hopes to convince Jahanbakhsh to move to Greece.
“As you have already heard and know, there is indeed interest from Panathinaikos in Alireza,” Hashemi said. “That’s all I can tell you at the moment.”
The winter transfer market will open again on January 1, allowing Jahanbakhsh to look forward to a transfer. The 64-time international has not had a very happy time in Rotterdam.
Jahanbakhsh was taken over from Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer of 2021 with high expectations, but failed to meet expectations.
