The Turkish newspaper Fanatik is reporting on Jedi Osman’s imminent return to Anadolu Efes. The newspaper from our neighboring country reports that the Turkish forward has already said "yes" to the team that made him a star and will be leaving Panathinaikos, although these reports have not been confirmed.

Here is the full text of the report

“Osman is returning home after nine years! The biggest surprise of the year. Following Ergin Ataman’s departure from Panathinaikos, Jedi is also set to bid farewell to Athens. Panathinaikos, having parted ways with Ataman, has hired Zeljko Obradovic as its new head coach, and it has been reported that Osman is also open to leaving and has accepted an offer from Efes, which is expected to pay a buyout, after which the transfer is expected to be announced. “The international star played for Efes between 2011 and 2017,” reports the Turkish media outlet.

Osman, who is currently in Istanbul for the Turkish national team’s training camp ahead of the “qualifiers,” has a contract with Panathinaikos through 2027, having signed an extension in April 2025.
