Anas Salah-Eddine has arrived in Athens as he closes in on a move to Panathinaikos, bringing an end to the uncertainty surrounding his future at AS Roma.

The Moroccan international landed in the Greek capital on Saturday after Panathinaikos and Roma reached an agreement over his transfer.

Medical Tests Before the Final Step

Salah-Eddine is scheduled to undergo his medical examination on Sunday, September 13, as the final formalities of the transfer move forward.

The agreement is reportedly structured as a loan with an option to buy, with the Moroccan full-back expected to put pen to paper on Monday, September 14.

His move comes after Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini indicated earlier that Salah-Eddine was not part of his plans for the season.

A New Chapter in Greece

The 24-year-old left-back now has the opportunity to begin a fresh chapter with one of Greece's most historic clubs.

Salah-Eddine is also expected to attend Panathinaikos' match at OAKA Stadium tonight, watching his new teammates in action as they face Panathinaikos' league opponents in the fourth round of the Greek Super League.

For the Moroccan defender, it will be an early glimpse of the environment where he is set to continue his career.

Another Moroccan Joins the Green Family

Salah-Eddine will become the third Moroccan international to join Panathinaikos in recent times, following the arrivals of Imran Louza and Azzedine Ounahi.

The growing Moroccan presence in Athens adds another exciting connection between Moroccan football and one of Greece's biggest clubs.

A Fresh Opportunity for Salah-Eddine

With the transfer now entering its final stages, Salah-Eddine can look ahead to a new challenge, new surroundings, and an opportunity to make his mark in Greek football.

A new chapter awaits in Athens, and the Moroccan international is ready to write it in green.
