Panathinaikos chasing former Liverpool defender

Argentinian newspaper Clarin says the Greek side are desperate to strengthen their squad in the January transfer window, as they prepare to battle Olympiakos for the domestic title.

Panathinaikos head coach Nikos Nioplias is reportedly a keen admirer of the 23-year-old.

Paletta spent the 2006-07 season at Liverpool, but failed to make an impact at Anfield.
