Abdoulaye Méïté, the Ivorian international central defender, who has been without a club since leaving Dijon, is set to join Panathinaikos in Greece. The experienced defender, who has represented clubs like Olympique de Marseille in Ligue 1 (France) and Bolton Wanderers in the Premier League (England), is reportedly close to signing a four-month contract with Panathinaikos, pending a successful medical examination.
The short-term contract suggests that Méïté’s initial agreement with Panathinaikos is for a specific period, likely until the end of the season. The possibility of an extension beyond the initial four months may depend on mutual satisfaction and performance.
This move to Panathinaikos provides Méïté with a new opportunity to contribute his experience and defensive skills to a different footballing environment. The outcome of the medical examination will be a crucial factor in finalizing the deal, and if all goes well, Méïté could embark on a new chapter in his footballing career in Greece.
