Brazilian 3+2 goalkeepers who use red and white in the January transfer window.

Olympiacos is intensifying its efforts to acquire the goalkeeping captain sought by Carlos Carvalhal, who has been in open discussion for the past 24 hours with the Piraeus management and his compatriot, the Whites' sporting director Pedro Alves.

It is not unlikely that Olympiacos will also make a move for a second central defender in the January transfer window, but the priority at the moment is selecting the goalkeeper who will make the difference immediately.

Case No. 1: Leo Pereira

The Rio de Janeiro club started their demands at €10,000,000, which has dropped to €8,000,000 but is unlikely to drop below €7,000,000.

In the Piraeus team they consider 4 million a good base, with the possibility of rising to 5 million euros, hoping to impress the South American national team.

The Brazilian goalkeeper has a contract with the Rio de Janeiro club until December 2027, and Flamengo acquired him from Atletico Paranaense four years ago – in January 2020 – for 7 million euros.

Leo Pereira has had an excellent season making 52 appearances, scoring four goals and two assists, and is looking forward to taking the next step in his career and coming to Europe.

He reportedly received the best recommendations from Rodney and their joint manager, Ricardo Cid. Meanwhile, Flamengo have been in negotiations with Bragantino for the acquisition of Leo Ortiz in recent days.

His case Joao Victor

Meanwhile, Olympiacos is dealing with his case Joao Victor. The 25-year-old goalkeeper is under contract with Benfica until June 2027 but was let go because he is not among the main options, whether through sale or loan.

The Lisbon club wants an amount of no less than 8 million euros in exchange for the Brazilian player's concession, but as we mentioned, there is a loan loophole, as happened last season with his move to France on behalf of Nantes.

Benfica signed Joao Victor from Corinthians a year and a half ago for €9,500,000, but the Brazilian centre-back has made just five appearances for the Lusitanian outfit, including two this season.

Palmeiras, Internazionale de Porto Alegre and Botafogo have shown interest in buying the Latin American footballer.

Also on the list Joachim

Also in the Olympiacos squad JoachimHe is under contract with Santos until December 2026.

The latter acquired the Brazilian goalkeeper from Cuiaba 11 months ago instead of 3 million euros, and would like to at least double the amount in exchange for 60% of his rights.

The 25-year-old footballer (his birthday is Thursday 28/12) made 42 appearances, scoring two goals and four assists in the season and a few weeks ago shared his name in the transfers of Atalanta, Torino, Zenit, Krasnodar, Sporting, Mainz and Almeria.

Two more in the frame Brazilians

Furthermore, there are two more Brazilian defenders of interest to Olympiacos, should the Piraeus side move for a second goalkeeper in the winter transfer window.

As we mentioned, it is about him Gabriel Pereira By Jill Vicente W Ottavio From Famalicao.

Gabriel Pereira participated in 14 matches and scored one goal this season, and is under contract with Gil Vitinte until June 2026.

The 23-year-old right-footed Brazilian has attracted interest from Porto, Betis, Leicester City and CSKA Moscow.

Otavio has 14 appearances and scored two goals this season, and is under contract with Famalisão until the summer of 2028. The Portuguese club borrowed the 21-year-old Brazilian defender from Flamengo a year ago and acquired his rights last summer for 500,000 euros. .

Sporting Lisbon and Porto have shown interest in signing him.

If Olympiacos acquires a foreign goalkeeper, there will likely be a question of stopping the loan of Freire, whose rights belong to Pumas.

If the Red and Whites land a second centre-back, there will be the question of stopping the loan of Poroso, who belongs to Troyes.
