Olympiako’s hard poker for Solbakken and Jovic
Ola Solbakken seems positive for Olympiakos, with Luka Jovic undecided for now. In the negotiations of the “Red-Whites” with Roma, they find it with Fiorentina. What is the financial data?
Olympiacos are trying and would be happy if they could close the transfer window with the two Italian prospects pursuing them, Roma’s Ola Solbakken and Fiorentina’s Luka Jovic. Real Madrid will keep 50% of the proceeds if it is sold last.
The data for Solbakken
The data in both cases are as follows. As for Solbakken, the Red-Whites are in negotiations with the Red-Whites and all scenarios are on the table.
Initially, the Norwegian winger was proposed on loan with a €5,000,000 purchase option. Roma spoke about selling the player and demanded 8,000,000 euros for his release. According to information, the Piraeus team offered 4,500,000 euros.
Now there are reports in Italy of an offer from Olympiacos to the Romans of 5,000,000 euros and that the two sides are on the verge of shaking hands.
As of now, that’s unconfirmed by the Reds, who say nothing before a transfer reaches the final stages anyway.
However, Olympiacos will take over the 25-year-old striker’s annual salary of €1,200,000 and the player is positive about his arrival in Piraeus. At the same time, Lille, Bologna and Sassuolo have expressed great interest in acquiring Solbakken.
Chapter: Jovic
As for Jovic, Olympiacos seem to have come to terms with Fiorentina, who are asking €2,500,000 for their share and are awaiting the Serbian striker’s response.
The latter is keeping the Piraeus team waiting and looking to clean up the landscape with his other influences including Milan, Monza, Valencia, Eintracht and Fenerbahce.
Jovic, who has a very high annual salary, seems undecided at the moment but time is of the essence as the transfer window curtain falls on Friday (01/09) in most European leagues.
Some markets will open even later, including the Greek one, and in any case Olympiacos would like to close down the desired centre-forward and winger by the end of the week in order to list him on Monday (4/9) for UEFA’s group stage of European competitions .
Because of this, Olympiacos are in contact with four to five players at a time, both on the flanks and up front in attack, and it’s not easy to say who will be chosen for the two positions.
