The Serbian midfielder Ours Ratčić has two years remaining on his contract with AEK, but this will not be a barrier for Panathinaikos if they wish to acquire the player. Ratčić recently posted an enigmatic message on social media regarding his future with AEK, indicating uncertainty. His agent met with Panathinaikos manager Rafa Benítez, suggesting potential interest.
Ratčić, who earns over €1.1 million per year, is one of the highest-paid players in the league. Despite this, AEK, which currently has no European commitments, is willing to listen to offers for the player. Ratčić, for his part, is open to leaving AEK if a suitable offer is made, especially from a club like Panathinaikos. He has also been linked with other European clubs, including Besiktas and Ajax.
Benítez, who is likely to leave Panathinaikos, has shown interest in Ratčić, but the club's willingness to make a move remains to be seen. Ratčić’s agent informed AEK’s management before the meeting with Benítez, as Ratčić is under contract.
Ratčić’s future is up in the air, with interest from multiple clubs. If Panathinaikos makes a competitive offer, the transfer could be swift.
Ratčić could be the missing piece for Panathinaikos! But is the club willing to make the move? What do you think, will Ratčić stay or go? Let's see if the money talks this time!
