Salah-Eddine Set to Join Olympiakos After Declining PSV Offer

Anass Salah-Eddine is close to joining Olympiakos, according to Italian transfer expert Nicolò Schira. The Greek club plans to pay eight million euros for the left-back, who has been linked with several clubs recently.

Deal Details and Background

Earlier reports revealed that AS Roma were open to letting Salah-Eddine leave, while Olympiakos showed clear interest in signing the Morocco international. The agreement between the Greek club, Roma, and the player has now been reached quickly, with a contract expected to run until mid-2030.

Why Salah-Eddine Turned Down PSV

This transfer is surprising given Salah-Eddine’s recent decision to reject PSV. PSV had the option to make his loan move permanent after a strong second half of last season. During his time there, he became a regular starter and played a key role in their league title with consistent performances.

Despite this success, the Amsterdam-born defender decided against staying at PSV or fighting for a place at Roma. Instead, he has chosen a new path at Olympiakos.

Champions League Opportunity

At Olympiakos, Salah-Eddine will still have the chance to compete in the Champions League. The Greek team competes in Europe's 11th-ranked league and will begin qualification against NEC. If successful, they must win another two-legged round to reach the group stage.
