Titraoui deal done at €8m
Olympiacos have a full agreement with Charleroi for Yassine Titraoui. The fee is €8 million and the contract terms are settled (1). The Algerian midfielder is exactly the kind of creative addition Mendilibar wants in the middle of the park. He joins a midfield that is being rebuilt this summer, with Gustavo Sá also on the verge of a club-record move.
The summer rebuild so far
Stefan Ortega has landed in Athens to finalise his move from Manchester City, bringing serious pedigree between the posts (2). Gustavo Sá, the 21-year-old number ten, is set to arrive in a deal structured with Nottingham Forest and Jorge Mendes, valued at over €15 million (2). That one is a statement. On the outgoing side, young goalkeeper Alexandros Exarchos has left for Marko (2). The spine is being reshaped quickly, goalkeeper, creative midfield, and now Titraoui.
Fan reactions
The mood is shifting. Supporters on Reddit see the Titraoui deal as another signal that the board is backing Mendilibar properly this window. The €8 million fee feels reasonable, and the combination of Sá and Titraoui in midfield has fans genuinely excited about what the creative axis could look like. One thread described this as the most ambitious summer in years. See the discussion on r/OlympiacosFC
