Olympiacos Pablo Mafeo transfer Spanish defender Messi quote

Greek club Olympiacos is intensifying talks to sign 28‑year‑old Spanish defender Pablo Mafeo. The right‑back, currently under contract with Mallorca until 2027, made 32 appearances last season, scoring once and providing two assists. After a season‑long loan at Elche, he returned to Sevilla and is now linked with a move to the Piraeus side.

Mafeo has drawn praise from Argentina legend Lionel Messi, who called him the toughest defender he ever faced. The endorsement highlights the player's defensive reputation as Olympiacos looks to bolster its back line.

If completed, the transfer would bring a La Liga‑experienced player to the Greek Super League, potentially strengthening Olympiacos' defensive options for the upcoming season.
