The transfer market generated great expectation around the future of Gustavo Puerta between Benfica and Nottingham Forest in the final stretch of the window. The South American midfielder was the target of strong approaches from both clubs, keeping the suspense in the air over what his destination would be.

The mystery has now been cleared up with confirmation that the player will join Olympiacos on loan from Nottingham Forest, according to Greece’s Sport24. The English club will pay 16 million euros to Racing Santander for the Colombian player’s release clause, immediately sending him on loan to the Greek club controlled by the same owner.

Evangelos Marinakis was at the center of the entire transfer operation between the various clubs involved.

Despite that initial desire from the footballer, the player is already expected in Greece to undergo the usual medical examinations. The Colombian international will be presented very soon as the new signing for the Greek runners-up as they take on the challenges of the current season.
