Olympiacos pursues Chivas forward Armando Gonzalez

Olympiacos has initiated formal negotiations to acquire 23-year-old Mexican forward Armando Gonzalez from Chivas. According to journalist Cesar Luis Merlo, the Greek club submitted an initial offer this past Saturday. While reports suggest the player has a release clause of $15 million, negotiations are ongoing as the Greek side explores financial terms, with Chivas potentially open to a lower fee accompanied by a sell-on clause.

Following the bid, reports indicate that the player's agent is expected to travel to Greece shortly to advance the deal. Gonzalez is recognized as a rising talent in Mexican football, having demonstrated consistent scoring ability with 33 goals and 8 assists in 84 professional appearances. While AlphaNews suggests Chivas might be willing to negotiate below the release clause, Goal News Cy notes that the club is currently insisting on a figure close to the full $15 million, making this a complex transfer scenario for the Greek club.
