Olympiacos eye Eustáquio but FC Porto want millions | OneFootball

Stephen Eustáquio has been identified as one of Olympiacos’ options to strengthen the midfield in this transfer window.

The Canada international returned to FC Porto after representing Los Angeles FC on loan. With only one year left on his contract with the Dragons, the midfielder’s future remains uncertain.

According to the Greek press, Eustáquio could be an alternative if Olympiacos fail to secure Antonio Blanco. The Alavés midfielder is currently one of the club’s priorities for that position.

FC Porto are said to be open to negotiating a permanent transfer, while also looking to benefit from the player’s increased value at the World Cup. Some reports say the Dragons want to receive around ten million euros.

That valuation is not, however, unanimous. Another Greek publication says the fee demanded by the Porto club is closer to five million euros.

So far, there is no known official offer from Olympiacos. Eustáquio is only being assessed by the Piraeus club’s structure.

At 29, the midfielder has made 156 appearances, scoring 12 goals and providing 11 assists for FC Porto. Last season, he was on loan at Los Angeles FC, which chose not to trigger the purchase option included in the agreement.

Captain of the Canada national team, Eustáquio delivered a standout performance at the World Cup, which helped strengthen interest in signing him.

FC Porto’s signing of Hwang In-beom and Eustáquio’s contract running until June 2027 could favor a permanent departure. If he does not renew his contract, this will be the last summer in which the Dragons will have the chance to make a significant profit from the player’s transfer.
