Olympiacos moving for Alavés attacker Denis Suárez
The 32-year-old attacking midfielder is a serious target for Olympiacos this summer, according to Kostas Nikolakopoulos on Galacticos (3). Suárez, who plays for Alavés in La Liga, fits the profile Mendilibar wants, a creative presence who can operate across the attacking midfield line. The interest comes as the club pushes ahead with a focused recruitment drive, with the Spanish manager shaping the squad to his specifications.
Tzolakis wants out, Olympiacos demand €30 million
Goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis has made clear his desire to leave, and Olympiacos have set a firm asking price of €30 million (1). The 23-year-old Greek international has been a key figure for the club, and any sale would represent a major moment in the window. The ball is now in the market's court.
The bigger picture
A right-back replacement for Kostinia has apparently been sorted, Pablo Maffeo is set to arrive from Mallorca for around €3 million. Midfield remains the priority zone, with talks ongoing for at least two targets, including Unai López from Rayo Vallecano. Mendilibar also wants pace and intensity out wide, with Zaragoza's Adrián Liso among the names evaluated. A Greek left-back is on the shortlist too. Meanwhile, 19-year-old prospect Christos Mouzakitis is drawing increasing attention from Spain, a subplot to watch as the summer unfolds.
