Cedi Osman, returning to Turkey? His future at Panathinaikos is uncertain

Cedi Osman could continue his career away from Panathinaikos.

His future is uncertain, yet to be decided despite the remaining year of his contract with Panathinaikos.

The situation is uncertain, with Turkish clubs keeping a close eye on the future of the Turkish forward.
Anadolu Efes Istanbul is keen to bring Cedi Osman back and has already made a significant offer to the player.
Fenerbahce has not submitted an offer but is keeping a close eye on the matter, especially after Tarik Biberovic’s departure for the NBA.

Much will depend on what Coach Obradovic decides with the player, with the possibility of him even staying in Athens.
