Olympiacos targets Gustavo Puerta with massive release clause bid

Olympiacos is reportedly preparing to trigger the release clause for Colombian midfielder Gustavo Puerta to secure his transfer from Racing Santander. The Greek club is willing to pay a fee reported to be between €16 million and €20 million, which would represent one of the most expensive transfers in Greek football history.

Puerta, a 23-year-old who played a key role in Racing Santander's promotion to La Liga, has expressed interest in playing for Olympiacos. While there is reported interest from other clubs, including Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, the player has reportedly rejected the possibility of moving to England in favor of the Greek side.

Racing Santander has indicated that the only way to facilitate the player's departure is through the payment of his full release clause. Puerta is a member of the Colombian national team and has significant experience at the international level.
