Olympiacos: Two additions and… we’ll see

His players Olympiakou they are spending the eight-day holiday given by Jose Luis Mendiliberhowever the team staff is working feverishly as January is just around the corner and team reinforcements are imperative.

The coach of Piraeus is clear about his “wants”, as he wishes to acquire a winger who can also play behind the forward, as well as a left back. Of course, the number of transfers is likely to be quite a bit higher, however, Mendiliber is not going to “load” the roster with players without some departures, since he is adamant that he wants a manageable roster.

THE Susowho has worked with the coach of the “red and whites” in Sevilla, is one of the cases liked for the position of winger/midfielder. This year he has only 7 minutes of appearances for the Andalusian team and given that he remains free in the summer, the 31-year-old ace is a possible case. The Belgian Yannick Carrascoalso 31, is on the way out of Al Shabaab, plays mainly as a left winger and is also on the list. The case of the Moroccan with a Dutch passport does not leave Olympiakos unmoved either Hakim Zigesalso 31 years old, who remains free from Galatasaray in the summer, but there are doubts about his tactical discipline.

For the left-back position, Madrid will only approve a transfer if it is a clear upgrade over Ortega. Such a case is the Sergio Reguilonthe 28-year-old from Tottenham who is out of the plans this year and enters the last half of his contract. At least Getafe is interested in the Spaniard. Another interesting option is the Jordi Makengowho leaves Freiburg, but is also claimed by Werder.

Ideally, Olympiacos would like to cover these two needs immediately, in order for the players to be available from… January 1st since a “fire” program is coming. And along the way, if some other needs arise or some interesting options in the market, to proceed with some more strengthening moves.
