Olympiacos checks a stopper: Hernandez’s advantage

The January transfer window is approaching and the Olympic intensifies the search for players who will give more “tools” in his hands Diego Martinez.

The “red and white” they are checking the market for stopper acquisition and they have already singled out some cases, but nothing more than that for the time being. THE Gaston Hernandezthe 25-year-old defender of San Lorenzo, has been under the microscope since the summer (when he was written for a proposal of 4 million euros but the Argentines did not want to give him away) and has the additional advantage of having a Spanish passport.

On the contrary, he does not have this privilege Felipe, Nottingham’s 34-year-old Brazilian stopper, who takes the place of a foreigner at a time when there are already six such (five can be in the squad) on the roster, Rodiney, Poroso, Ortega, Ese, Kamara and El Kaabi. It is noted that Rodney and Ese they have started the procedures to get a Portuguese and a Polish passport respectively, but no one knows if they will secure it so immediately to “untie” the hands of Olympiakos.

The Piraeus are also looking for a center forward, as o Ayoub El Kaabi he will miss the Africa Cup of Nations for a month. The 23-year-old Argentine Julian Carranza of the Philadelphia Union of the MLS, who also does not have a Community passport, is in the spotlight. There are also thoughts in Olympiakos about the acquisition of a central midfielder, but the final decision will depend on the image of Vitente Ibora after the restart.
