Olympiacos Make €4.5m Offer for Godoy Cruz Winger Santino Andino

Olympiacos is offering €4.5 million plus extras to sign Santino Andino from Godoy Cruz. The move could bring one of Argentina’s top young talents to Greece, as the club looks to strengthen its team for the new season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Olympiacos formally bid for Santino Andino, a young winger making waves in the Argentine Primera División. They offered €4.5 million plus additional bonuses. This shows their strong interest in the 18-year-old. Andino, recently valued at about €2.8 million, is very promising and mainly plays as a left or right winger. He was impressive last season for Godoy Cruz, known for his speed and attacking play.

WHY ANDINO IS IN DEMAND

Santino Andino recently gained fame as a hidden gem on scouting lists and in video games, with a rating of 68 and a potential of 83, showing great future potential. His ability to play across all wing positions and his solid performances at both youth and senior levels make him an appealing choice for clubs. Godoy Cruz, his current team, ended up mid-table in last season’s Argentine league, relying on young talents like Andino. If the deal goes through, it would be significant for both the player and Olympiacos, as they aim to build on their recent success in domestic competitions.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR OLYMPIACOS AND GODOY CRUZ?

Currently, the deal awaits a response from Godoy Cruz and finalization of personal terms with the player. Olympiacos, who were champions in the Greek Super League and are getting ready for European competitions, are eager to settle their squad before the qualifying rounds. Godoy Cruz, currently sitting 10th in the Argentine Primera División, faces the risk of losing a key young talent as they aim to improve their standings. Olympiacos’ next game is in the Champions League qualifiers, where they hope to feature their new signings if deals are finalized in time.
