The suspension of the league gives Imanol Alguacil plenty of time to work with the players who aren’t on national team duty, but it also gives Olympiacos ample time to plan its roster moves ahead of the winter transfer window.
It goes without saying that the Basque coach would like to make some additions, as the roster was essentially already set when he took over the team. Early reports suggest that the “Red-and-Whites” are looking to strengthen their defense and midfield. The truth is that the team’s fullbacks, with the exception of Saliaka, have not performed satisfactorily so far, while on the wings there are options like Roca and Zelson, but no one else possesses the speed and individual skill needed to break through opposing defenses.

In contrast, no new signings appear to be on the horizon for the midfield, even though Santiago Ese is expected to miss all eight remaining games of the 2026 season. During the Argentine’s absence, the player who will be promoted to the central midfield rotation is Lorenzo Cipioni, who hasn’t played since October 28 in the Cup match against Marco, while in the league he hasn’t played since August 30.
