Fortounis scores on return, Olympiacos beat Raków 2–1
He is back, and he is on the scoresheet. Olympiacos 2–1 Raków in a Thursday friendly, and Costas Fortounis marked his return with a goal (2). The captain did not hide his feelings afterwards. "I'm very happy to have returned to Olympiacos. It's my team and it's my family," he said. "I'm happy to help the team today and that's what I want to keep doing" (2). No bigger takeaway from a friendly than that.
Stanić offer raised as Olympiacos push for the deal
Olympiacos want Petar Stanić, and they are not waiting. The club has increased its offer for the attacking midfielder as they try to close the gap to the asking price (3). Stanić is a priority target for Mendilibar's reshaped squad, and the new bid signals the club believe a deal is within reach (3).
Amrabat interest emerges
Sofyan Amrabat is on the radar. Olympiacos are among the clubs showing interest in the Fenerbahçe midfielder, who spent last season on loan at Real Betis (4). Nothing advanced yet, but the link is real (4).
