After revealing that the Argentinian Olympiacos full-back has recovered from injury and is available for the Conference League final against Fiorentina, he described his client’s first season in Europe as a very positive one, while making it clear that he is on the Italian giants’ transfer radar , but also other European teams!

In detail what he said:



“Ortega has recovered from the injury he suffered against Aston Villa and will be ready for this historic game for the club. He dreams of winning his first title in Europe and the fact that the game will be played in Athens makes it special.”.

On his call-up to the Argentina national team: “He had a positive first season in Europe, a few months ago he was called up to the Argentina national team and to finish the season with a European final is very important for his career”.

On the change of the image of Olympiakos with the arrival of Mendiliber: “He is fantastic for the team, the change was immediately visible, his message got through to the players and they were convinced of his ideas. This is also the reason why they were able to overturn all the negative results by bringing Olympiacos to the final of the Conference League”.

Regarding the interest from foreign teams in the acquisition of Ortega: “He was always under the watch of the Italian teams. When he was playing in Argentina, he was closely watched by Torino and one of their men had gone to watch him in matches in Buenos Aires. He is on the radar of various Italian and other European clubs. The fact that he was called up to the national team and is now in a European final with Olympiacos makes him one of the most interesting profiles in his position. If something concrete arrives from Italy it will be evaluated, like all proposals”.
