Armando González is a red
Olympiacos have signed Armando González from Chivas. 23 years old, striker, and one of the most expensive transfers in club history (1) (2). His father says Milan had him on their list before Olympiacos moved (1). You won the opener 1–0 against Atromitos on Saturday, and now the attack gets a new face.
Debut could come Sunday
González could debut at Asteras Tripoli on Sunday, August 30, the second matchday (3). No need to wait months. He might be in the squad right away.
Walkup locked away from the greens
Thomas Walkup has a clause in his Olympiacos deal barring him from ever playing for Panathinaikos (4). Not for one season, for his whole career. That door is shut permanently.
The August 14 meeting changed everything
After elimination to NEC, Vangelis Marinakis and José Luis Mendilibar met on August 14 (5). The transfer push followed. González, plus moves for Remo Freuler, Nair Tiknizyan, Rubén Vargas, Edson Álvarez, Gustavo Puerta, Anas Salah-Eddine and Joakim Mæhle all came into focus after that meeting (5). Sevilla have also been mentioned in the Alvarez discussion (5). The season turned on that room.
