Satisfaction with the strong start, focus now on Asteras, and in the middle of it all, the transfer news at Olympiacos. The Piraeus club kicked off the 2026-27 league season with a win, though they faced a tough challenge against a formidable Atromitos side, with David Carmo coming to their rescue with a fine shot in the 82nd minute, when the ball fell to him off a deflection following a corner kick.
One question that arises is whether José Luis Medilibar will be without Lorenzo Pirola, as the “Red-and-Whites’” hero had been substituted in the 57th minute due to an injury to the Italian center back.
Beyond that, the Basque coach will be without Rodinei against the Arkadians, as he was sent off in the 90’+1’. On Saturday, Armando González was announced as a new signing, having signed a 4+1-year contract, and the Mexican forward, fresh off the field, is likely to be available in the match at “Th. Kolokotronis” Stadium.
Of course, transfer activity is also in full swing at Olympiacos, which aims to strengthen its roster. Developments are expected soon on the three priority fronts: These are the left winger, the central midfielder, and the right back. As for Sevilla’s star player, Vargas, the Piraeus-based club is on the right track, with reports over the past 24 hours suggesting an offer of around 13 million euros. They are working hard to turn the tables and convince Santander to let him go, with Caseres seemingly out of the picture and Genoa’s Fredrup also in the mix.
As for Mele, he is stepping up his efforts to bring the player to Greece to fill the void left by Mafeo, who has returned to Spain. The player didn’t seem too keen at first, but the two sides have been closing the gap recently.
