Retsos returns, and Giovanni's son signs
Olympiacos announced two arrivals on Friday. Dimitris Retsos is back at the club, and Giuliano Lobo de Oliveira, the son of the late, legendary Giovanni, has also signed (1). Two names that carry weight in Piraeus. Retsos brings experience to a backline that needs it. The young Brazilian arrives with a story that writes itself.
Nascimento loaned to Rio Ave
Diogo Nascimento is heading to Portugal. The winger joins Rio Ave on loan for the season (2). A chance for regular minutes after limited opportunities in Piraeus.
