Olympiacos continued its pursuit of 27-year-old Portuguese midfielder Daniel Bragança throughout early August 2026. Initially, coach José Luis Mendilibar identified the player as a priority to address a “mid-field gap” following a weak attacking performance in the previous season. While Bragança reportedly rejected early approaches, the Greek club moved from exploring a loan with an obligation to buy to negotiating a permanent transfer.

By 5 August, talks with Sporting Lisbon were described as “advanced,” with the fee expected to fall between €8 million and €10 million. Bragança, under contract with Sporting until 2027, was slated to join Olympiacos as Sporting prepared to release him. 

By 15 August, Olympiacos reached an agreement with Sporting CP to acquire the midfielder. The transfer is reportedly in its final stages, with only minor details remaining to finalize the move to Piraeus. The total value of the deal is estimated to remain between €8 million and €10 million, depending on specific terms and potential bonuses. Bragança has been training individually, as he is not part of manager Rui Borges’ plans for the upcoming season, facilitating the transition. The transfer adds significant depth to Olympiacos’s midfield, bringing a player with 215 appearances, 24 goals, and 19 assists for Sporting to support their domestic and European campaigns.
