Lorient Raises Price For Noah Cadiou To €7-€8 Million, Is He Worth It?
Noah Cadiou has been on Olympiacos’ radar long enough that the fundamental scouting question should already have an answer. They know the player. They know what he can offer José Luis Mendilibar. The question emerging on August 11 is different. How much is that profile worth now that Lorient know Olympiacos want it and the French season is about to start? Kostas Nikolakopoulos reports that Lorient’s answer is €7–8 million. That number is important because it appears to repres

Why Olympiacos are still chasing Salah-Eddine after being told “No”

Mendilibar Expects NEC Nijmegen To Take Risks In 2nd Leg
José Luis Mendilibar could have treated a 0–0 Champions League away-leg setup cautiously. He did not. His message in Nijmegen was almost the opposite. Olympiacos were poor in Piraeus. They did not create enough and, perhaps most importantly, they allowed NEC to play too comfortably. That last point is the key to understanding what Tuesday may look like. Mendilibar told reporters that Olympiacos must become more dangerous, manufacture more opportunities and prevent NEC from pl
