Olympiacos pursues new players for the upcoming season

Olympiacos is currently in advanced negotiations to acquire midfielder Unai Lopez from Rayo Vallecano, following a request from coach Jose Luis Mendilibar. While a reporter for Rayo Vallecano suggested a verbal agreement exists, conflicting reports indicate that Athletic Bilbao has also entered the race for the player, who is still evaluating his options. Regarding defensive reinforcements, 24-year-old Mika Marmol of Las Palmas is a primary target, with sources indicating that Olympiacos holds a strong position to secure his transfer. Additionally, the club is monitoring 32-year-old Chilean defender Guillermo Maripan, who has experience at Monaco and Torino, though he remains a secondary priority compared to Marmol. The club aims to finalize these personnel decisions in the coming days. The final outcome for these transfers will be determined by financial negotiations and the players' own preferences.
