Panathinaikos are in talks with Newcastle United for Mehdi Abeid.

Foot Mercato says the Algeria midfielder is on the shopping list of Panathinaikos and Fortuna Düsseldorf.

Panathinaikos are pushing Newcastle to release Abeid from his contract.

The midfielder has less than a year to run on his current Toon deal.

Fortuna Düsseldorf coach Frank Kramer has made no secret of his hope of signing Abeid.
