Olympiacos guard Waucup is moving closer to a move to Dubai, with the Texan player insisting he wants to leave for financial reasons. Club officials in Piraeus have come to accept that holding a player who is determined to go makes little sense, according to reports, though they have not hidden their frustration at how the situation has developed.
His potential departure has direct consequences for teammate Larentzakis, an international guard who has been under contract with Olympiacos but has long signalled a desire for a transfer in order to get more playing time. There is reported interest from Thessaloniki. Piraeus values Larentzakis highly and would allow him to leave under certain conditions, but if Waucup departs, Larentzakis becomes more important to the club as a Greek player, making a release harder to secure.
Panathinaikos watching Dorsey situation
Panathinaikos are keeping a close eye on Olympiacos forward Dorsey, whose contract runs until 2027 and who is set to earn 1.8 million euros next season. No talks over a renewal have taken place between the player and Olympiacos, and if the club delays those discussions further, Panathinaikos could move. Dorsey is Greek, which adds to his appeal for the green side of Athens.
Tsirivegas sale on the cards
On the football side, Panathinaikos are open to selling Spanish midfielder Tsirivegas after his agent informed the club that a foreign offer is expected. Coach Nistrup does not consider him indispensable, and the club would also shed his annual salary of 1.3 million euros. The club indicated they would open the door if a concrete European offer arrives.
Cautious optimism over Kostic at AEK
AEK Athens remain cautiously optimistic about signing Serbian free agent Kostic, who left Juventus. Nikolits and Jovis are working to convince him that joining AEK is the right move. A potential complication is that Eindhoven, who also had interest in Kostic, renewed the contract of their first-choice left back, which could be a signal about Kostic’s situation. Saudi Arabian clubs have also shown interest, meaning Kostic may find better financial offers elsewhere.
