Olympiakos are determined to move forward with the signing of Daniel Bragança. The 27-year-old midfielder is on the way out at Sporting, and the Greek club are preparing a concrete approach to secure the player in this transfer window.

According to the newspaper A Bola, no formal offer has yet been submitted to Sporting’s directors, but the interest is real and developments are expected in the coming days. Jorge Mendes is leading the process and is trying to put together the necessary conditions to take the footballer to Greece.

If the transfer goes through, Daniel Bragança could reunite with Gustavo Sá, the Portuguese midfielder who recently left Famalicão to join Olympiakos, who finished 18th in the league phase of the 2025/26 Champions League. Despite attracting interest from other clubs, the Greek side now appear to be in a privileged position.

The player is entering the final season of his contract with Sporting and the SAD want to avoid losing him on a free transfer next summer. A sale is seen as the best solution to secure some financial return, at a time when Bragança is no longer part of Rui Borges’ plans.
