Ortega signs, Salah-Eddine lined up, NEC in qualifying

Ortega is official

Stefan Ortega is an Olympiacos player. The German goalkeeper signed from Nottingham Forest and the club announced the deal on Wednesday (1) (3). He arrives straight into a fight for the number one spot with Konstantis Tzolakis, and his message was clear: Champions League qualification and the league title are the targets (1).

Left-back hunt turns to Salah-Eddine

With Francisco Ortega reportedly heading to River Plate, Olympiacos have identified a replacement. Anass Salah-Eddine of Roma is the target, a Dutch-born Moroccan left-back who came through Ajax's academy and had a spell at PSV (2). He is 23 and available.

NEC up first in Champions League qualifying

The path is set. Olympiacos face NEC Nijmegen in the Champions League qualifiers, the Dutch side standing between your team and the next round (3). No date confirmed yet. The Ortega signing and the Gustavo Sá deal, a club-record investment north of €15m, show the club is building for exactly these moments.
