Liverpool winger Sebastian Leto says he is “90 percent” certain he will play his football at Panathinaikos next season.
The Argentine spent last season on loan at Greek champions Olympiacos, but his time there was somewhat troubled.
Leto had a falling out with coach Erneste Valverde, which cast doubt over the possibility of an extended stay.
However, the player has now revealed that Liverpool and Athens outfit Pana are in dialogue with regards to another switch, although Leto did not state whether a second spell in Greece would be a temporary or permanent move.
“I am very close to [joining] Panathinaikos,” said Leto.
”There are negotiations between Panathinaikos and Liverpool and as far as I know the two sides are very close to a deal.
”I think that the possibilities of playing at Panathinaikos next season are more than 90 percent.
”I have been waiting for something from Olympiacos all these weeks but they haven’t made a move for me so far.
”It's not a matter of money. I wanted to stay at Olympiacos but since they don't want to sign me I have to think about my future.”
