The 34-year-old centre-back is reportedly being eyed by both Olympiakos and AEK Athens after a potential move to Rangers fell through last week.
Aston Villa outcast Joleon Lescott could have the chance to revive his career in Greece with either Olympiakos or AEK Athens, according to Sports24.
Lescott, 34, has not played for Villa this season after being deemed surplus to requirements by new manager Roberto Di Matteo and has been told to find a new club before the summer transfer window closes.
The ex-England international defender, whose current contract expires next summer, was close to joining Rangers on a two-year deal last week, but he ultimately pulled out of the move at the last minute because of family reasons.
Villa will reportedly consider paying off the rest of his contract if he fails to secure a switch away from B6 before the 1 September deadline [h/t Birmingham Mail], but the latest reports suggest that he could have options in the Greek Superleague.
Sport24 claimed on Wednesday that the former Manchester City man is attracting interest from Olympiakos and AEK Athens, but the fact that he allegedly turned down Rangers to keep his family in the North West of England leaves some doubt over whether he would accept an offer from either club.
Nevertheless, he has previously admitted that he considered joining the LA Galaxy in January after holding talks with the MLS outfit over the winter, meaning he might not as averse to a move abroad as suggested.
