The 27-year-old has fallen out of favour with manager Claudio Ranieri, despite only joining the club from Empoli for £6.5 million in the summer.
Agent Claudio Vagheggi said: "I can confirm an offer from the Greeks. But I can also state that a number of other important European clubs have been in touch too, as well as River Plate."
Vagheggi revealed that while the Greek side join a host of clubs tracking Almiron, a move in the month is unlikely.
He added: "I'll meet up with the Juventus directors over the next few days.
"For now it seems as if the club want to keep him for at least until the end of the season.
"There is a desire to give him a chance and the player himself wants to repay the club for that kind of belief.
"However, the transfer window is about to open and things can change from one minute to another in this game.
"Saying that, I would expect him to remain. If he is sold then that would only occur at the end of the season.
"For now, Almiron is calm seeing as he has a five-year contract. We will then evaluate everything at the end of the campaign."
One club who Vagheggi says is definitely not involved at this time is Fiorentina, saying: "I've not spoken to [Fiorentina sporting director Pantaleo] Corvino. It's too soon to talk of a move, let us just see how the situation evolves."
