Armando Gonzalez completes move to Olympiacos

Twenty-three-year-old striker Armando Gonzalez has officially joined Olympiacos following a transfer from Guadalajara. The deal was finalized for a fee of 8.5 million euros plus 2 million in potential add-ons. After arriving in Greece on Friday, August 21, 2026, the player passed medical and ergometric examinations and signed a five-year contract with the Piraeus-based club. He was officially announced shortly thereafter.

Following his arrival, Gonzalez attended the match against Atromitos at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium, where he held a meeting with club owner Vangelis Marinakis. He subsequently participated in his first training session under coach Mendilibar, displaying high physical readiness and a strong commitment to his new team. According to his father, the rapid negotiations concluded in about a week. It was revealed that AC Milan had also expressed interest in the player, though their sporting director suggested that Gonzalez should first gain experience in a league like the Greek Super League before making a move to Italian football.

Currently, Gonzalez has integrated into the squad and is undergoing standard training routines as he prepares for his debut. No further legal or administrative hurdles are reported, and the player remains focused on his immediate professional objectives with Olympiacos.
