Mahamadou Diarra is in talks to sign for Greek giants Panathinaikos .
The Mali midfielder had been training with Fulham with view to earning a new deal after a long spell on the sidelines with a knee injury.
However, the former Real Madrid star is reportedly on the verge of joining Panathainikos after failing to win fresh terms at Craven Cottage.
Diarra told Sky Sports: "I have contact with the Greek club and we will be talking again this week to agree something.
"I think I can still play at a good level. They are in the Champions League and I can bring my experience to the team but nothing is done yet.
"I have enjoyed my time at Fulham, it is a friendly club and I would like to thank the club for everything they have done for me.
"I wish them good luck in the Premier League."
The 32-year-old made just 19 appearances during an injury-ravaged 18 months in SW6.
