At the same time, the red and white want to run their conversion issues. Antonio Cordón continues negotiations with the candidates on his list, but no progress has come out. After all, he himself declared that he was moving in … shadows.
The need for reinforcements in defense and attack
There is no doubt that Olympiacos needs to be strengthened qualitatively and numerically. The priority for the Reds and Whites is to get at least one defender, while Diego Martinez wants a second. its name Domingos Duarte Still at the top of the list.
