Basinas to decide on future

Panathinaikos midfielder Angelos Basinas is to make a decision on his future.

Panathinaikos midfielder Angelos Basinas is poised to make a decision on his future this week.

The 29-year-old has been linked with a number of clubs including Manchester City and Marseille.

With Greece bowing out of the Confederations Cup, they play their final fixture against Mexico in Frankfurt on Wednesday, Basinas will be in a position to decide where he will be playing his football next term.

The combative member of Greece's successful Euro 2004 side has alerted English sides with his battling qualities in midfield.

Basinas's representative refused to comment on the matter when contacted by skysports.com but did indicate that there would be developments within the next seven days.

City boss Stuart Pearce has not entered the transfer market yet, and has admitted he is short of funds, but sources have indicated that Basinas has caught his attention.

Birmingham City boss Steve Bruce has also been looking in Greece for reinforcements and could turn to Basinas if his bid for Lee Bowyer continues to flounder. The Midlanders have confirmed they could bring more than one midfielder to the club this summer.
