Ortega in Argentina to seal River move
Francisco Ortega is in Argentina to finalise his transfer to River Plate (2). The left-back has already spoken with River manager Eduardo Coudet: "I spoke with Coudet and I'm ready to play" (2). He leaves after two seasons at Olympiacos, with the deal expected to close in the coming hours.
Tzolakis joins Hull
Konstantis Tzolakis has been officially announced by Hull (1). The goalkeeper's departure was confirmed by the English club, and teammate Panagiotis Retsos posted a farewell message: "I'm glad we lived these moments together" (1).
Moura on the radar for left-back
Olympiacos are seriously considering Francisco Moura for the left side of the defence (3). With Ortega heading out, the club are moving quickly to fill the gap. The Porto full-back is a modern, attacking profile, the kind of player Mendilibar's system relies on out wide, according to Gazzetta (3).
Porto full-back also in the picture
Olympiacos have joined the list of suitors for another Porto full-back, according to A Bola (4). The Portuguese outlet did not name the player, but the interest in multiple left-sided options suggests the club are not putting all their eggs in one basket. The Ortega sale frees up both a squad spot and budget.
