Olympiacos has entered advanced negotiations to sign Swiss international winger Rubén Vargas from Sevilla FC. The Greek club has reportedly submitted offers between 12 and 15 million euros for the 28-year-old, while Sevilla initially sought a figure closer to 20 million euros.

As the transfer window nears its end, Sevilla manager Luis García Plaza has excluded Vargas from recent match squads to prevent injury risks. While Vargas has expressed a desire to leave, he has also been linked to interest from clubs in the Premier League, Bundesliga, and Serie A.

The pursuit of Vargas appears to have impacted other transfer targets for Olympiacos. The club’s focus on the Sevilla winger has significantly reduced the likelihood of signing AS Saint-Étienne winger Zuriko Davitashvili, who was previously considered a strong potential target.
