Armando González says he is going to Olympiacos to grow, not for money

Mexican forward Armando González has declared that his transfer to Greek club Olympiacos is driven by a desire for professional development rather than financial incentives. The 23-year-old expressed confidence in his ability to perform well in Europe and eventually return to his home country, emphasizing that "the most important thing is the football aspect and what this opportunity can give me."

The money is not the primary thing for me, the important thing is the football aspect and what this opportunity can give me.

González, considered one of Mexico's top emerging talents, joins Olympiacos after representing his nation in the recent World Cup. He was attracted to the project at Olympiacos, describing it as "a great team, the biggest in Greece," and expressed his eagerness to take on a significant challenge for his career.

Before his move to Greece, González played for Guadalajara in Mexico's top league, where he became a prolific scorer. He netted 29 goals and provided 4 assists in 69 appearances for the club. His performance also earned him a call-up to the national team for the 2026 World Cup, where he participated in one match.

I really liked this project, Olympiacos is a great team, the biggest in Greece and that always competes for all European competitions, I wanted to take on a challenge of this importance. Something big for my career.

While Olympiacos may not currently feature in the Champions League, González harbors ambitions of playing in the prestigious tournament. "Who wouldn't want to play in the Champions League? It's a tournament you grow up watching on television, so of course it's one of my upcoming goals to be in such an important tournament," he concluded.
