In early August 2026, Greek club Olympiacos began formal discussions with Spanish side Racing Santander to acquire 23‑year‑old Colombian midfielder Gustavo Puerta, whose market value was reported above €10 million and contract runs until 2029. The club signaled willingness to allocate a significant portion of its transfer budget, while other European teams such as Nottingham Forest, Villarreal and Zenit Saint Petersburg were also linked to the player.

A few days later, Olympiacos moved from opening talks to active negotiations, with reports indicating a price expectation between €12 million and €20 million. The Greek side remained a leading contender, but no agreement had been reached, and the competition from the other interested clubs persisted.
