Olympiacos made a splash, reached an agreement on all terms with Leon Bailey, and the 29-year-old Aston Villa winger is “heading” to Greece to sign a three-year contract. Very quickly, the Piraeus club set the wheels in motion and, following the signing of Puerta, are adding a major name to their roster for the 2026–27 season.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano dropped the “bombshell” at noon on Wednesday (September 2), noting that the player has agreed to a contract through 2029 and is coming to Greece to undergo a physical and formally complete his transfer.
