European clubs show interest in Olympiacos midfielder Santiago Hezze

Several prominent European football clubs, including Juventus, Marseille, and Villarreal, have reportedly targeted Olympiacos midfielder Santiago Hezze during the current summer transfer window. According to reports from English journalist Pete O'Rourke and French outlet foot01.com, the Argentine player has become a priority for Marseille, though the club must first address its financial situation and offload players to generate necessary funds. English Premier League clubs have also expressed interest, reportedly inquiring about Olympiacos's stance regarding a potential transfer.

Olympiacos, which considers Hezze a key component of its squad, has previously rejected informal approaches from foreign teams. Sources suggest that a transfer fee in the region of 14 million euros would be required to persuade the Greek club to part with the midfielder. Despite the widespread interest from major leagues, there have been no formal developments or finalized agreements as of mid-August 2026.

As the transfer window approaches its conclusion, the situation remains fluid. Marseille continues to assess its ability to present a competitive offer, while other clubs continue to monitor the player's status. Olympiacos has not yet indicated a willingness to sell, maintaining that the player remains integral to their current sporting project.
