Rodinei reported to reach agreement with Santos for transfer from Olympiacos

Brazilian right-back Rodinei is reportedly nearing a departure from Olympiacos after a three-and-a-half-year tenure with the Greek club. According to reports from Brazilian media, including journalist Vene Casagrande, the 34-year-old player has reached an agreement with the Brazilian club Santos on a two-and-a-half-year contract. Olympiacos has allegedly informed the player and his agent that they are free to pursue other opportunities, prompting the athlete to prepare for a return to his home country.

During his time in Greece, Rodinei made 157 appearances for the "red and whites," contributing 12 goals and 28 assists. His successful stint included winning a Greek championship, a Greek Cup, a Super Cup, and the UEFA Europa Conference League. While local reports in Greece note that interest in the player is significant and currently being evaluated by both parties, the Brazilian sources indicate that the transfer is in its final stages, with the player expected to travel to Brazil shortly to formalize the deal.

While Greek sources note that the club is assessing the offer, Brazilian reports state that the departure process is already in motion. The move marks the end of a pivotal chapter for both the player and the team, necessitating adjustments to the club’s future tactical planning.
