Greek giants Panathinaikos are holding talks with defender Sotirios Kyrgiakos, according to German sports magazine Kicker.
Kyrgiakos arrived in Athens yesterday afternoon with his representatives to meet with Panathinaikos and discuss a move.
The 33-year-old defensive warrior is surplus to requirements at Bundesliga club Wolfsburg and could seal a return to his homeland of Greece if an agreement can be found.
Wolfsburg are not expected to stand in the way of the former Liverpool man, whose contract at the Volkswagen Arena runs until this summer.
