Pedro Alves is making contact with Andre Silva, Leo Pereira and Joao Victor

Olympiacos set high standards in their transfer searches, wanting to offer Carlos Carvalhal the best possible. The Red and White, through sporting director Pedro Alves, are making contact with Flamengo to include Leo Pereira, and with Benfica for Joao Victor, and at the same time, they are looking for a cooperation formula with Andre Silva, who belongs to the team. Leipzig is playing on loan at Real Sociedad.

Flamengo wants more than 7 million euros for the franchise Leo Pereira, who will turn 28 in a month and has a contract until December 2027. The Brazilian centre-back wants to play in Europe, and the Piraeus club meets the requirements and is trying to find the golden ratio with the Rio de Janeiro club. In Latin America, they estimate that Flamengo will hardly give up its demands, although there are those who believe that the two parties could shake hands for an amount approaching 6 million euros.

In return, Benfica wants more than 8 million euros for Joao Victor (they started their demands from 9,500,000, which is what they bought from Corinthians a year and a half ago), but the Brazilian goalkeeper is looking for a way out in January. And he has the possibility that his loan will fall on the table.

Of course, the fact that the 25-year-old footballer is wanted by Palmeiras, Internazionale de Porto Alegre and Botafogo keeps his profile high. The Latin American defender has a contract until June 2027 and in Lisbon they believe that at this point, it is difficult for Benfica to drop in negotiations below 6 million euros.

As for Andre Silva, Olympiacos is trying to reach an agreement with Leipzig, to which the player belongs, but at the same time, Real Sociedad, where he plays on loan, will have to agree. In other words, it will be necessary to first stop his loan to the Spanish team and then agree with the German team to loan the 28-year-old forward until June.

It is noteworthy that Leipzig had acquired the Portuguese striker from Eintracht Frankfurt for 23 million euros in the summer of 2021 and has a contract until June 2026. Andre Silva played in only five matches for Sociedad in the first half of the season.

The cases of Joachim and Carlos Vinicius

Hence one realizes that these three cases are very difficult and costly, and for this reason communications and negotiations require time. Beyond that, and in terms of goalkeeper support, Joaquim Santos is in the Olympiacos squad, with the latter asking for €7 million in exchange for relinquishing 60% of his rights.

The 25-year-old goalkeeper wants to move to a European team, and Atalanta, Torino, Zenit, Sporting, Krasnodar, Almeria and Mainz have all shown interest.

Regarding the centre-forward position, Fulham's Carlos Vinicius, who is wanted by Monterrey, is also under consideration. The 28-year-old Brazilian footballer is under contract with the English club until the summer of 2025. Fulham signed him from Benfica a year and a half ago for €5 million, but the experienced striker is not getting the playing time he wants. season.
