Panathinaikos is engaged in several transfer market activities to strengthen its squad.

In early August, the club entered final negotiations to sign 30-year-old Danish midfielder Matias Gensen from Brentford. While personal terms were agreed upon, the club had to negotiate with Brentford following the activation of a contract-extension clause.

By late August, the club shifted focus toward defensive reinforcements, targeting Mali international Nathan Gassama. Panathinaikos formulated an official offer to Baltika Kaliningrad for the 25-year-old center-back to provide tactical flexibility following the departure of Ahmed Touba.
