Roca lands in Holland Friday on a five-year deal
Joel Roca is your new winger. The 21-year-old Spaniard flies into Olympiacos's training camp in the Netherlands on Friday to complete his move from Girona, signing a five-year contract worth €5 million (1). Mendilibar pushed for this one. A young, direct wide player who joins in time for the bulk of pre-season.
Fortuna Sittard friendly today, Ajax on Saturday
Two friendlies in two days. Olympiacos face Fortuna Sittard today, July 17, then Ajax on Saturday in what is a sharper test (2) (3). The Ajax match will be broadcast and streamed, giving you a first proper look at how the squad is shaping up (2). No scoreline yet from the Fortuna game at time of writing.
What to watch
Roca's first training session. Does Mendilibar throw him straight into the Ajax friendly? The attack needs pieces around him but this is a signing with clear intent, a young wide player on a long contract before the season even starts.
