Olympiacos is making significant strides in securing midfielder Jose Luis Mendi and is undergoing several transfer changes, both incoming and outgoing. According to Sportime, these changes will be extensive and will involve both transfers and contract terminations.

The club's identification with Mendi has been absolute, with a recent misunderstanding involving Dani Garcia, whom Olympiacos wanted to let go but who has agreed to stay as a backup player with a significant pay cut. Mendi has emphasized the importance of Garcia's role in the squad.

The club and Mendi have agreed on a transfer plan to strengthen specific positions. Mendi has already provided a list of names he wants to bring in and those he doesn't consider essential for the team. This will lead to significant changes in the squad, affecting all three lines and the goalkeeper position.

Mendi is rebuilding the team in positions that have faced long-standing issues as well as those where players did not meet expectations last season. The transfer activity is expected to be intense, and Sportime will provide ongoing coverage.
