Martinez immediately wants a stopper at Olympiakos

THE Olympic continues contacts on various fronts for its reinforcement. THE Diego Martinez and Antonio Cordon knowing the market and its… laws show a willingness to wait for the right opportunities to bring the team the best possible options. Even if more time needs to be lost.

Where the coach seems to want no further delays is in the acquisition of the first of the two stoppers he has proposed to be acquired. The Spanish technician would like… yesterday a central defender to lead the rear guard and the administration is doing everything they can to grant his wish. Cordon’s partner, Jose Ignacio Navarro, returned from Spain to Austria and spoke to the technical director and coach yesterday.

Information says that Olympiacos is close to acquiring a stopper, but since the market is liquid, one cannot rest easy until the signatures come in. However, the cases of Jose Luis Palomino and Marc Bartra they don’t seem to have… light, since both expect something from a stronger league than the Greek one. As for him Srjan BabicAlmeria’s demands currently reach 6-7 million euros and it will be difficult to find a team to satisfy them.

See you later Martinez he should bet on the existing players for the center of defense. Ba has a clear lead for one position, while Doi, Retsos and Bagalianis will fight for the other. Cisse remains in Athens and is looking for a proposal, but nothing worthwhile has yet been found for the Senegalese.

As far as the striker is concerned, Olympiacos is pushing Valencia for him Mark Andre, but the Bats want to get the most out of the Brazilian. His case is even more difficult Rafa Mir due to the cost but also the competition for the Sevilla forward, who seems difficult at the age of 26 to turn his back on LaLiga (where he has several interested parties) and choose Greece. However, the “red and whites” seem willing to fight it and Youssef El Arabi’s good playing condition offers security and time to make the next moves for the attack.
