Slager Proposed to AEK and Panathinaikos

AEK and Panathinaikos are reportedly interested in Austrian midfielder Xaver Schlager, who currently plays for RB Leipzig but whose contract expires at the end of the season. According to Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, Schlager was also proposed to Celtic, Roma, and Juventus. However, his high transfer cost and injury history are potential obstacles. The 28-year-old has 49 international caps and 4 goals for Austria, and has previously played for Salzburg and Wolfsburg. With his contract expiring, a free transfer appears to be the most likely scenario.
