Cristian Cásseres Jr. to Olympiacos

Quiet since 10 August 2026. Last report: Giannis Chorianopoulos. Probability when it went quiet: 14%.

Olympiacos have made a formal offer for Cristian Cásseres Jr., with the Greek club and Toulouse now in advanced talks over the Venezuela midfielder. The 26-year-old is under contract until June 2027, so Toulouse hold the leverage in any negotiation, and the fee being discussed sits between €4m and €6m, below his estimated market value of around €9m. Nothing has been agreed yet; this is a live negotiation rather than a done deal. The story comes from Giannis Chorianopoulos, a reporter with strong credibility on Greek football matters, who broke the news of the official offer and described the two clubs as being in advanced negotiations. No second source has yet confirmed the details independently, so while the reporter carries weight, this is still a single-source account. That leaves some of the finer points, including the exact fee both sides want, unconfirmed elsewhere. Call this a long shot for now. An official offer and advanced talks sound promising, but Toulouse have two years of contract left to work with and no pressure to sell cheap. For this to complete, Olympiacos likely need to move closer to Toulouse's valuation, or Cásseres himself needs to push for the exit. Right now the fee gap looks like the main obstacle rather than any lack of interest. Olympiacos have paid similar money for reinforcements before: €5m for a player from Rio Ave in 2026, €5m from Sandefjord the same year, and €5m from Fortaleza in 2025. A fee in the €4m-6m range for Cásseres would sit comfortably within that recent pattern. Watch for whether Olympiacos improve their offer to close the gap
