In early August 2026, Greek champions Olympiacos, coached by José Luis Mendilibar, added Brazilian centre‑back Vinícius Souza to its transfer shortlist. Souza, who is under contract with VfL Wolfsburg until 2030 and valued at about €7 million, fits the club’s desire for a tall, physically strong defender who can also operate as a defensive midfielder.

A few days later the club renewed its pursuit of Portuguese left‑back Francisco Mouura. After earlier talks with FC Porto stalled, Olympiacos is reportedly preparing a formal proposal for the 26‑year‑old, who is viewed as a replacement for departing left‑back options. Mouura, a product of Braga’s youth system and a regular at Famalicão, brings defensive solidity and attacking support.

Both targets illustrate Olympiacos’s ongoing effort to strengthen its defensive line ahead of the new season.
