Olympiacos has on its radar two cases of Italian wingers from the MLS, the case of Luis Palma and the data on the left back. Dimitris Christofidelis analyzes the transfer cases of the red and whites in “Show Must Go On” and Pantelis Diamantopoulos.
The winter transfer window in Greece opens in just under two weeks, with Olympiakos already making strong moves in the background to strengthen their roster ahead of of demanding continuity in Stoiximan Super Leaguein Greek Cup Betsson and in Europa League.
At the moment in the big port the efforts have been focused on acquiring a winger who will be ready to come in and play while Jose Luis Mendilibar has made clear his desire for the left-back to be acquired.
The special feature of Bernardeschi and Insigne
In the squad for Olympiakos there are the cases of Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi. In fact, the second case arose from the first, as the people of Piraeus singled out the former Juventus winger through the scouting they did on Insigne.
The Conference League winners want to acquire a winger who will ideally be able to play behind the striker, while the common characteristic of the two Italians is that they are left-footed.
Jose Luis Mendiliber has suggested signing a left-footed winger, as there is none on the roster. This is where the case of Suso of Seville came from.
First, of course, Insigne’s name fell on the table and from his observation, his name entered the list Bernardeschi.
They play together in Torontoo It is Bernardesque left footed extreme, as Medilibar has requested as Olympiacos does not currently have, while he can also play behind the forward, which makes him a case that meets tthe conditions of the Spanish technician.
From there, he has a contract with Toronto that expires in December 2026 with annual earnings of more than 3 million. dollar
Both players have huge contracts in MLS, which makes them two very difficult cases. The positive however, in his case Bernardeschi is that he changed managers and has said that he wants to return to Europe.
In the summer his manager was in contact with Roma and Lazio, but something broke down at the last minute, but he still wants to return.
He has had a good season with Toronto, scoring nine goals and dishing out eight assists.
Case: Suso
Suso is a player who knows Mendiliberas they collaborated in Seville. He was offered to Olympiakos in the summer, but he himself hoped that he would be a key player for the Andalusians.
However, that did not happen and he is not in the starting plans and is now having second thoughts about whether he could go somewhere else to play.
He also has a high contract, but Olympiacos is going for someone who will be able to play immediately and these three cases can satisfy the red and whites and offer.
Luis Palma
Celtic, in some scouting that has been done by other clubs and not by Olympiacos, has argued that they are not loaning him in January, asthere were 2-3 teams that asked him on loan.
He made it clear that it is only for sale and even asks for an amount of around 5-6 million. euro.
There are solutionsthe case of the left back
Medilibar in the discussion he had with the administration explained that he wants a left back to oppose Ortega or to be a starter.
That is, he does not want someone who is a substitute. Maybe that’s why it’s no coincidence that there are reports abroad about Lyon’s Argentinian Taliafico, who is experienced and has high quality.
The Brazilian Lucas Piton as well, who he had employed in the past.
