Panathinaikos are being linked with a move for centre-back Andy Pelmard, with the Madagascar‑French defender rumoured to be on the radar of the Greek Super League 1 club after his spell at Clermont Foot in Ligue 2.

Transfer data compiled on 17 April 2026 lists Pelmard, 26, as a potential target for the Athens side, with his current market value rated at €2.00m. The probability of a deal remains unclear, with the move officially marked as “?” and no agreement reported between the clubs.

Pelmard, born in Nice on 12 March 2000, is a right‑footed central defender standing at 1.83m. He holds dual nationality with Madagascar and France, and is currently registered with Polish champions Jagiellonia Białystok, where he wears the number 70 shirt. His contract details at Jagiellonia have not been disclosed publicly, with no expiry date listed, leaving open the possibility that he could become a free agent in a future window if terms are not extended.

The defender’s career has taken him from French football – most recently Clermont Foot in Ligue 2 – to the Ekstraklasa with Jagiellonia, adding experience in different European leagues. His current valuation of €2.00m is likely to be a reference point in any negotiations, although Panathinaikos could be tempted to explore a lower fee or a free‑agent scenario should his contract situation change.

Recent statistical detail from the current campaign has not been fully updated, and no specific match data – such as opponents, dates or scorelines – has been formally recorded in the present dataset for Pelmard’s performances. However, his status as a starting‑calibre centre‑back in his mid‑20s continues to attract interest.

With Panathinaikos regularly involved in European qualification races, a successful move to Athens could provide Pelmard with a prominent platform to enhance his reputation and shape the next phase of his career at a higher competitive level.
