Podence return ruled out as Cármo lands in Athens

Podence return talk shut down

There is no movement for Daniel Podence. Sportime report that despite recent chatter, Olympiacos are not pursuing a deal to bring the Portuguese winger back from Al Shabab (1). No offer, no talks, no advanced stage. Fans hoping for a reunion can park it for now.

Cármo in Athens, announcement imminent

David Cármo has landed. The centre-back arrived in Athens to finalise his return for a third spell at the club. Medical and signing are a formality now. José Luis Mendilibar gets a defender he knows and trusts ahead of the new season.

Stanić chose you over Lampard

Petar Stanić had options. Coventry City, now managed by Frank Lampard, made a late push for the midfielder. Stanić said no. He picked Olympiacos, and the deal is done. Your project won the tug-of-war.

Amrabat and Duarte in the pipeline

The club are not stopping at Cármo. Sofyan Amrabat is a concrete target for midfield, and Domingos Duarte has been discussed as a potential fourth-choice centre-back. Mendilibar is reshaping the squad at pace.

Olympiacos mourns Kanella Chrysanidou

The club family is grieving. Kanella Chrysanidou, long-time head of ticketing for the basketball section, has passed away. The club released a statement of deep sorrow, and tributes have poured in across both the football and basketball arms of Olympiacos.
