After André Luiz, Olympiakos close to snapping up another Benfica target | OneFootball

Clayton is the next name on Olympiakos' wish list. It has been determined that the Greek club intends to strengthen its attack in this winter market, following the departure of Roman Yaremchuk, who, interestingly, once played for Benfica. To fill the gap left by the Ukrainian, the Greeks are considering the Brazilian forward.

According to the press, the Piraeus club is considering Clayton to bolster their attack. It is worth remembering that the Brazilian, shining in service for Rio Ave, was once on Benfica's list of potential reinforcements, however, the deal never materialized.

Thus, the number 9 of the Vilacondenses, one of the top scorers in the Liga Portugal Betclic, is preparing to head to Greece, leaving the team led by Sotiris Silaidopoulos without a striker with killer instincts. Evangelos Marinakis is the mastermind behind these moves.

Regarding André Luiz, the winger was very close to signing with Olympiakos, as reported last Wednesday, January 28, and the confirmation came on the morning of Thursday, January 29, with Rio Ave, through a post on X, wishing the 23-year-old footballer the best of luck.

This season, wearing the Rio Ave jersey, Clayton — valued at 8 million euros — was Silaidopoulos' choice in 18 official matches, all counting towards the Liga Portugal Betclic. In the 1,509 minutes he was on the pitch, the 27-year-old forward recorded 10 goals and five assists.
