Olympiacos has just had a historic season, the most significant season in its 100-year history. But in this article, we're going to take a look at the latest news related to the transfer window ahead of the upcoming season.
Obviously, this draws a lot of attention because as the most recent champions of the UEFA Europa Conference League and being qualified for the UEFA Europa League, all eyes will be on what the board plans to do, what signings will be made, and what's next for Olympiacos heading into the next campaign.
Let's get into it!
Olympiacos Wants To Keep Horta and Carmo
According to a recent report from SPORT24, Olympiacos has already taken the first steps to secure the services of two crucial players for this season's success.
The first move concerns André Horta, whose buyout clause is around €6 million. However, this amount is considered very high by Olympiacos' management, and the club will explore negotiations with Braga to reduce this price.
Additionally, Olympiacos is also in talks with Porto regarding a possible extension of David Carmo's loan, meaning not signing him directly but extending his loan for another season. Olympiacos has offered Porto one million euros for this, with a buyout clause ranging from €12 million.
These efforts by Olympiacos are obviously very important because they want to ensure the continuity of key players this season so that they remain important pieces next season.
More Key Contract Extensions On The Way
Now, let's move on to more information because Olympiacos obviously wants to improve as a team and compete in the Europa League next season, avoiding a repeat of what happened last season when we were eliminated in the group stages. For this, the club is already preparing potential changes in the squad, including both contract renewals and new signings, as explained by SPORT24 .
They add that several players have contracts expiring, including Konstantinos Fortounis, Konstantinos Tzolakis, Giorgos Masouras, Youssef El-Arabi, and others. For these players, the club is already negotiating potential contract renewals.

Decisions regarding player loans, buyout options, and all these issues are still pending according to the aforementioned media. But the club is already considering new signings with a focus on the potential acquisition of free agent Dani Garcia, who is out of contract with Athletic Bilbao.
The club also plans to utilize players from the U19 squad, with several players being seriously considered for promotion to the first team, which sounds wonderful. If all this information is true, Olympiacos is planning a season based on continuity and improvement.
They want to retain key players, and sign experienced players, but also utilize the youth from the Olympiacos academy, which speaks to coherent sports planning.
We had previously discussed Olympiacos' problems and their board, but it seems that the board has learned from their mistakes and, at least on paper, they are doing things right.
Let's see what happens next.
