The 27-year-old Moroccan international is anticipated to arrive in Athens shortly. He will undergo necessary medical and ergometric examinations. If these tests proceed smoothly, the transfer will be finalized, securing Louza for the "Greens" on a contract reportedly spanning three years with an option for an additional year (3+1).

According to English sources, the transfer fee is expected to surpass 8 million euros. This represents a considerable financial investment by Panathinaikos, aiming to bolster their squad with a player possessing experience and quality, particularly from his time in English football. Louza previously served as captain for Watford and was considered a challenging acquisition target due to both financial demands and competing interest from other clubs.
