Smailović and Stanić pushed aside
Olympiacos have shelved two transfer pursuits. The cases of both Smailović and Stanić are no longer active, according to Dionysis Verveles (2). The club has decided to move in a different direction. No specific reason was given, but with pre-season underway, Mendilibar and the recruitment team are narrowing their focus.
Mendilibar wants Joel Roca now
José Luis Mendilibar does not want to wait. The Olympiacos coach wants Joel Roca to join the squad immediately for the pre-season camp in the Netherlands (1). Roca is not just another name on the list, Mendilibar sees him as a priority and wants him integrated before the real work begins.
