Midfielder with 126 Benfica appearances making headlines in Greece | OneFootball

Olympiakos officially announced this Tuesday the contract renewal with Chiquinho, reinforcing their commitment to the former Benfica midfielder, who has established himself as a regular fixture in the team since his arrival in Greek football.

The new agreement comes despite the previous contract being valid until the summer of 2027, with both parties reaching an understanding to revise the contractual terms. The decision is part of the Piraeus club management's strategy to maintain a solid core in the squad, after recently also extending Gelson Martins' stay with the Greek side.

Signed from Benfica – which currently has a player involved in controversy – in January 2024, Chiquinho has made 95 official appearances for Olympiakos, with a record of 16 goals and 11 assists, numbers that help explain the importance he has gained in the team's midfield.

Since his arrival, the Portuguese midfielder has been involved in winning four titles, namely the Conference League, the Greek Super League, the Greek Cup, and the Super Cup, consolidating a career marked by consistency and collective contribution.

In the current season, playing for Olympiakos, Chiquinho – valued at 5 million euros – has already played a total of 29 official matches: 18 in the Greek League, eight in the Champions League, two in the Greek Cup, and one in the Greek Super Cup. In the 1,871 minutes he has spent on the pitch, the midfielder has recorded six goals and five assists.
