Olympiakos seeks to retain Stefanos Charalambous

As of June 28, 2026, Olympiakos manager Giorgos Kostis has expressed a strong desire to retain 26-year-old midfielder Stefanos Charalambous for the upcoming season. Charalambous played for the club on loan during the previous season but remains under contract with Anorthosis for one more year. Negotiating a deal is complicated because Anorthosis is currently restricted from performing new transfers, making them reluctant to release current squad members. The situation remains an open issue as Olympiakos continues to pressure for the player's stay. There are no definitive agreements yet, and both clubs are navigating the constraints of the current transfer window regulations. The discussions highlight the squad planning efforts of Olympiakos under the leadership of Kostis.
