Marinakis backs player who snubbed Sporting | OneFootball

The Olympiakos has reached an agreement with Gelson Martins for a contract renewal, thus ensuring the Portuguese winger's stay at the Piraeus club. Conversely, Turkish midfielder Yusuf Yazici is preparing to leave the team, with the French league being the most likely destination.

The previous contract of the 30-year-old Portuguese international was set to end next summer, but it contained an extension option that the Greek club has now decided to activate, ensuring the continuity of the former Clube de Alvalade player - who set a transfer value for Hjulmand.

It should be noted that Gelson Martins joined Olympiakos in January 2024, in a transfer that cost the club's coffers three million euros, paid to Monaco. Since then, the winger has played 76 games, in which he scored 13 goals and made 13 assists.

Meanwhile, Yusuf Yazici seems to be living his last days at the club. The Turkish attacking midfielder is very close to heading to the French league. This season, Yazici participated in 20 matches across all national competitions, contributing with six goals and as many assists.

This season with the Olympiakos jersey, Gelson Martins - valued at 2.5 million euros - appeared in 22 matches: 14 in the Greek League, seven in the UEFA Champions League, and one in the Greek Cup. In 1,401 minutes played, the Portuguese winger scored 4 goals.
