Close to Cedric Bakabou for leading the attack, Olympiacos
Olympiacos appear hyperactive in the final of the transfer window, with a French publication revealing that Marseille’s French striker Cedric Bakabou is expected to sign a contract with the Greek champions.
The big name linked to Olympiacos since Wednesday afternoon is that of James Rodríguez, but that doesn’t stop the Reds and Whites from ‘beating’ other targets and one of them could be in Marseille.
The reason for this is Cedric Bakabou, who revealed in a publication of “Provence” that the 31-year-old forward from Marseille will not continue his career with “Velotron” and is preparing to wear the red and white on behalf of the Greek champions.
“The transfer window in Greece closes on Thursday September 15 and it is very likely that Marseille will sack another player.
This is Cedric Bakabou, who according to our information is expected to sign for Olympiakos in the next few hours.
Arriving in Marseille in January 2022, the Congolese striker failed to win the trust of either Sampaoli or Tudor and was not included in the European squad that season.
He will be released and will sign as a free agent at Olympiakos.”reports the relevant publication.
This is Bakabou
Bakabu primarily competes at the front of the attack, while he has also played on the left side of the attack at times.
He started his career in Sossos academies and reached their first team. In the summer of 2014, Bursaspor bought him for €1.8m and a year later sold him to Villarreal for €7.5m.
He stayed there for 2.5 years Beijing Guoan gave 40 million euros to bring him to Beijing. He played in China until January 2022 when Marseille signed him.
He played until the France U20s and then chose the Gongo national team, with whom he has 40 appearances and 13 goals. At the same time, at the collective level, he has 363 appearances, 151 goals and 38 assists.
Last year in Marseille he played in 24 games in six months and had four goals and two assists.
