A new transfer rumor from abroad has brought Giorgos Vagenas back into the spotlight for Olympiacos. The Red-Whites are reportedly monitoring the situation closely, particularly given their need for a right-back.

According to Transferfeed, Olympiacos has shown interest in the 24-year-old international right-back currently playing for Sporting Lisbon. Vagenas's future in Portugal remains uncertain, with recent developments between Sporting and Panathinaikos suggesting Sporting is not keen on making it easy for the player to return to Greece.

Olympiacos is seeking solutions for its right-back position, especially since Rondine is being used higher up the field, and Kostinia has yet to fully convince with his appearances. A Greek international with experience and potential like Vagenas is a logical target for the market.

Despite not being a regular starter for Sporting Lisbon, Vagenas has made 31 appearances and six assists this season, demonstrating his ability to contribute offensively from the right side. At 24, he is still in his prime and has significant room for development.

However, if Vagenas returns to Greece, the most likely scenario currently favors Panathinaikos over Olympiacos. His strong ties to the club and the difficulties in transferring him to the Piraeus team are considered significant in the football world.

For now, Olympiacos's interest is at the observation stage, with no advanced developments in the transfer case.
