Olympiacos is preparing to complete the most expensive transfer in Greek football history by bringing Gustavo Puerta to Greece.
The Piraeus club plans to pay 20 million euros in cash to trigger the Colombian midfielder’s release clause at Racing Santander. The 23-year-old is expected to sign a four-year contract once the remaining formalities are completed.
Puerta, a Colombia international, was among the standout players at the recent World Cup. He also started the first three La Liga matches of the season and made 33 appearances last season, scoring three goals and providing one assist.
The signing would give Olympiacos a top-level addition in midfield and represents spending that had previously appeared beyond the reach of Greek football.
