Andre Luiz is nearing a transfer to Olympiacos, leaving behind interest from Benfica. Sotiris Sylaidopoulos has informed José Luis Mendilibar about the player's characteristics, and the decision to sign him has been made by the Olympiacos administration. Luiz is expected to play his final match with Rio Ave and then travel to Greece. The player himself reportedly prefers Olympiacos, as the transfer to Benfica was not progressing, and believes he will have a significant opportunity in his career in Piraeus.
