Panathinaikos showed interest in Karol Swiderski, seeking to strengthen their squad by addressing a weakness identified by Rui Vitoria. Negotiations with Charlotte FC are underway and currently on a positive track. Panathinaikos aims to secure Swiderski on a permanent transfer, while also exploring two other options for the position.

Reports from Gazzetta.gr and Piotr Koźmiński of Goal.pl suggest that Karol Świderski is nearing a move to Panathinaikos. The transfer, however, is not yet finalized. Discussions about Świderski's departure from Charlotte FC have been ongoing. His agent, Mariusz Piekarski, denied the rumors that Świderski had been in Verona recently, a claim made by Tuttomercatoweb.com that hinted at his possible return to Hellas Verona. Despite this, it is noted that communications between Świderski's representatives and Panathinaikos have increased, although Panathinaikos is reportedly exploring other alternatives as well.

There was a reference in America that Panathinaikos is close to acquiring Karol Świderski. This information is expected to be confirmed within the week.

According to a report by journalist Claudio Bonus, who covers Charlotte FC of the MLS, the American team is close to accepting an improved offer from Panathinaikos for Karol Swiderski. Initially, Charlotte FC had rejected Panathinaikos' first offer for the Polish forward. If the agreement is reached, Swiderski will continue his preseason training with Charlotte FC in Florida and will join Panathinaikos at the end of the month.
