Andre Luis sold to Sporting KC as Olympiacos chase Ortega

Andre Luis sold to Sporting KC for up to €19.5m

Your Brazilian winger is gone. Andre Luis has signed for Sporting Kansas City in a deal that could reach €19.5m, an MLS record (1) (2). The 24-year-old arrived only last summer but now heads to the United States after one season in Piraeus. The fee includes add-ons, and Olympiacos retain a sell-on clause (2). That is serious money for a player who was not yet a guaranteed starter, but it also removes a direct attacking option as the squad takes shape in the Netherlands.

Livakovic rejected Olympiacos

One goalkeeping target is off the table. Dominik Livakovic has turned down a move to Olympiacos, according to reports from Greece (1). The Fenerbahce keeper was among the names being explored for the No. 1 spot. The club now appears to be moving in a different direction.

Ortega talks in advanced stages

Olympiacos are now in advanced talks with Stefan Ortega, and the Manchester City backup is the priority target for the position (1). The club had also shown interest in Kotarski, but Ortega is the name driving the conversation right now. A deal is not done, but discussions are progressing.
