Transfer Surprise for Yusuf Yazici! ‘Will Sign Within 24 Hours’

A surprising transfer claim has emerged for Yusuf Yazıcı, whose contract with Lille has ended. Despite being linked with Galatasaray and Trabzonspor during the transfer period, he has not signed with any club and remains a free agent.

Yusuf Yazıcı, who spent last season with French Ligue 1 team Lille, was left without a club at the end of this summer’s transfer window.

While it was expected that the national player would spend the first half of the 2024/2025 season as a free agent, a new claim has surfaced in the Greek press regarding Yusuf Yazıcı.

OLYMPIAKOS WANTS YUSUF YAZICI

According to Greek newspaper Sport 24, Olympiakos, currently third in the Super League after their first five matches, may transfer Yusuf Yazıcı.

The report claims that Yusuf Yazıcı’s name was presented to the Greek club by agents at the beginning of September, but the club did not show interest at that time. However, after the UEFA Europa League draw and league matches, head coach Jose Luis Mendilibar realized the need to strengthen the team’s wing rotation. Following this decision from the experienced coach, the transfer of Yusuf Yazıcı has gained serious momentum for Olympiakos in the last 24 hours. It has been stated that talks between the parties are progressing positively, and signatures are expected to be finalized shortly.

FREE AGENTS CAN BE TRANSFERRED IN GREECE

In Greece, where the transfer window has closed, teams can still sign players who are free agents.

HAD ALSO BEEN LINKED WITH TRABZONSPOR AND GALATASARAY

Yusuf Yazıcı, who is rumored to be transferring to Olympiakos, had also been linked with Trabzonspor and Galatasaray during the summer transfer window, but the transfers did not materialize.

PLAYED 42 MATCHES LAST SEASON

Last season, Yusuf Yazıcı played 42 matches with Lille. The national player spent a total of 2,128 minutes on the pitch, contributing 12 goals and 4 assists to his team.

ONLY LOST ONE MATCH THIS SEASON

Olympiakos has played five matches in the Greek Super League this season, winning three and recording one draw and one loss. The Greek team has collected 10 points and is currently in third place.

OLYMPIAKOS’ EUROPA LEAGUE FIXTURE
