The five days that will decide a lot for Olympiakos in Europe

Hui-Joe Huang, the next transfers and player returns will decide a lot for Olympiakos in the Europa League

Olympiacos has until the evening of next Friday (09/02) to provide UEFA with the names of footballers eligible to participate in the Europa League groups. Yes, the Greek transfer window ends on September 15, but the Red and Whites, who play in Europe, are keen to have the remaining key pieces of the puzzle added within the next five days.

Whatever is added to the squad will affect the Piraeus side’s commitments in the Greek league and cup, at least until January.

Olympiacos are used to being active in the transfer market until the last day of the transfer window, so more and more signings or additions are made in the first half of September. And in terms of the arrivals but also the exits of footballers, since there will be several markets that will remain open inside and outside of Europe.

What interests Olympiakos and of course his friends above all are the transfers that will be made in the next few days. Carlos Corberan already has Hui-Joe Huang available, who forms an excellent front three with Arabi and Aboubakar Kamara – Hassan will probably be dispensed with.

Movements that define the future

At the same time, however, the Red-Whites need the acquisition of a key winger, a full-back, a stopper, a midfielder and maybe a goalkeeper who will accompany Vatslik. The most important thing is that these players are of high quality, active, not coming from injuries or long absences, so that they can contribute directly to the team.

Finally, let’s not forget that Olympiacos will play their first Europa League group stage game in eleven days.

So the next transfer steps will decide a lot for the red and white in Europe. How far they can go and what they can achieve. Since much will also be judged by the presence of newly acquired Hui-Joe Huang, who will now enter the equation, the return of Fortunis but also the injured Vrsaliko, Aboubakar Kamara, Papastathopoulos and Rodriguez.

In terms of transfers, there are contacts with good and high-quality players on many fronts, but time is running out and the formation of the final squad will show how much Olympiacos will increase their chances of qualifying for the next Europa League round.

The Red-Whites’ task is not easy as they have to face a team from Germany (Freiburg), one from France (Nade) and Karabagh from Azerbaijan. It is recalled that the first of the group will take part directly in the March games, the second will take part in the February knockout games and the third will take part in the Conference League knockout games becomes.

Olympiacos therefore have the opportunity in the next 24 hours – through transfers – to shape the situation in such a way that Corberan makes things easier while at the same time giving the Piraeus team hope of penetrating as much as possible in the Europaleague.

Vasily Kobin could go to Dnepr and play in the Europa League final

football journalist Igor Tsyganyk He told the details of the long-standing transfer story regarding the possible transfer of Vyacheslav Kobin to Dnepr.

According to him, when Dnipro club had to choose between Artem Fedetsky and Vyacheslav Kobin, Kobin was the first choice to strengthen the squad.

Tsyganyk stated that the football player could really be transferred to Dnieper and noted that they made him an offer in the first place. According to the journalist, in the event of such a transfer, Kobin could even play in the 2015 Europa League final, but ultimately the transfer did not take place.

The journalist emphasized that the failure of the transition was not related to financial conditions. According to his information, salaries in Shakhtar and Dnepr were approximately the same. The reasons why the transfer did not take place lie on a different level, but the details of this situation are not reliably known.

According to Tsyganik, Dnepr considered Kobin as a priority option, but the transition was never implemented. Artem Fedetsky played for Dnepr from 2012 to 2016. In the 2014/15 Europa League final, Dnepr lost to the Spanish team Sevilla (2:3).
