Maffeo decision expected today
Today is the key day for Pablo Maffeo's future. Olympiacos have made their offer to Mallorca for the 28-year-old right-back, and the Spanish club will decide today whether to accept (6). The deal would be worth around three million euros, and it would fill the gap left by Kostinia's departure to Brighton.
Maffeo is exactly the type of signing Mendilibar wants: experienced, La Liga-proven, and ready to slot in immediately. A decision either way should come today.
Biancone on his way to Lens
Giulian Biancone is leaving Olympiacos for RC Lens (4). The French defender's exit clears both squad space and wage budget as the club reshapes under Mendilibar.
What's still on the table
The Maffeo pursuit is part of a wider rebuild. Mendilibar still wants a midfielder, with Unai López among the names discussed, a Greek left-back, and an attacking winger with pace. Adrián Liso has been evaluated for that role. Meanwhile, 19-year-old Christos Mouzakitis is attracting interest from Spain.
