Lutzeskou Passed on Him, Benitez Wants Him!

Panathinaikos is reportedly interested in signing Alex Kral, a midfielder from Union Berlin, to strengthen their midfield. The 27-year-old Czech international is set to become a free agent in the summer and is currently not a regular starter for his club. He has previously played for clubs such as Spartak Moscow, West Ham, Schalke, and Espanyol. While PAOK also showed interest in the summer, Razvan Lutzescu did not seem particularly keen on the player, preferring Meite, Camara, and Ozdoev. Kral's acquisition appears to be a priority for Panathinaikos as they seek to bolster their midfield options.
