Olympiacos shifts focus from Ruben Vargas to Pablo Garcia

As the summer transfer window approaches its conclusion, Greek club Olympiacos appears to be ending its pursuit of 28-year-old winger Ruben Vargas from Sevilla. Despite negotiations, a significant financial gap persists, with Sevilla demanding a fixed transfer fee of 15 million euros, while Olympiacos has offered 12 million euros. Reports indicate that Sevilla refuses to lower their asking price, leading the Greek side to explore alternative options to strengthen their attack.

Journalist Matteo Moretto reports that Olympiacos has initiated negotiations for 20-year-old winger Pablo Garcia of Real Betis. The club has reportedly submitted an offer of 9 million euros to acquire 70% of the player's rights. Garcia, a product of the Betis youth academy, has made 32 appearances for the club's senior team. Current information suggests that Olympiacos has informed involved parties that they are actively pursuing other targets, signaling a potential permanent departure from the Vargas deal unless it is used as a final tactical maneuver to pressure the Spanish club.
