Smajlovic deal done, record fee for Sandefjord
Zinedin Smajlovic is joining Olympiacos. The left-footed centre-back is moving from Norwegian side Sandefjord for a club-record fee of 66 million SEK (1) (2). That is roughly €5.7 million. The deal is agreed, and the 22-year-old will strengthen Mendilibar's backline ahead of the new season.
Fan reactions
The Smajlovic news landed well. Supporters are calling it smart business, a young left-footed centre-back who profiles as a starter, not a depth piece. The record fee Sandefjord are getting has some fans pointing out the scouting department's reach into markets others overlook. See the thread.
