OFI Heraklion in negotiations to sign Aitor Cantalapiedra
Greek Super League club OFI Heraklion is currently in negotiations to acquire the Spanish winger Aitor Cantalapiedra. The 30-year-old player, who is currently playing in Brazil for Vitoria, has been identified by the Cretan club as a primary target to strengthen their attacking line ahead of the upcoming season.
While discussions between the parties are confirmed to be ongoing as of late July 2026, both Goal News Cy and OmegaLive report that no final agreement has been reached yet. OFI aims to bolster its squad significantly, particularly because the team is scheduled to compete in the league phase of a European competition next season. Aitor, who is well-known in Greece for his previous successful tenure with Panathinaikos and a stint at AEK Larnaca, is viewed by the club's management as a high-quality addition capable of delivering immediate results.
Future developments are expected in the coming period as the club continues its search for offensive reinforcements. The player is currently under contract in Brazil, which adds a layer of complexity to the potential transfer. Both sources agree that while the interest is concrete and contact has been established, a definitive deal remains pending.
