Marmol talks advance, Kantiou and Roca bids in

Marmol talks progressing, new offers for Kantiou and Roca

Olympiacos are in advanced discussions with Las Palmas centre-back Mika Mármol, with negotiations moving forward on Friday (2) (3). The 23-year-old Spaniard appears to be a serious target as Mendilibar looks to reinforce the backline this summer.

At the same time, the club has submitted fresh offers for two midfield targets, Celta Vigo's Fran Beltrán (referred to as Kantiou in Greek reports) and a renewed approach for Marc Roca, currently at Real Betis (2) (3). Midfield has been a stated priority for this window, and the dual pursuit suggests Olympiacos are determined to get at least one of these deals across the line.

The Maffeo signing from Mallorca is already agreed, so attention now turns to how quickly Marmol and a midfielder can follow.

Fan reactions

Fans on Reddit are split, some are excited by the pace of the window, especially if Marmol lands, while others worry about Roca's injury history and whether the club should be chasing a younger profile in midfield. Join the discussion here.
