Stamatelos: “Olympiacos needs a striker and we expect to see developments immediately”

The latest news of Olympiakouthen and the arrival of Nicolas Freireconveyed by Nikos Stamatelos to News Bulletin 247.

“With Cordon, in a good way, you can’t be sure, since he does his job and doesn’t let anything leak. Most names become known a few days before their transfers are completed. Cordon does not open his papers and at any moment we may have developments in the transfer matters“, the team reporter initially reported.

“Freire will undergo tests today and, if all goes well, his transfer will be announced. The Argentine is on loan with an option to buy from Pumas. From there, Olympiacos looks for reinforcements in the attacking line, where there is only El Arabi. He wants a forward who will come and wear the starting position immediately, and if he has El Arabi in this situation, welcome too“, he added.

And he concluded by saying:I find it unlikely that an attacker has not been acquired in the next few days. If he is not ready, we will go with the alternatives, with Masura and Biel in the Europa League qualifiers. Bad lies, however, Olympiacos needs a striker. Diego Martínez’s persistence with Marcos Andre impresses, in whom he obviously sees something and maybe he will deliver what he expects in the Olympiakos game. He is not the only one being examined by Cordon, in consultation with the coach».
