Clayton, a striker who started the season at Rio Ave, was presented as a reinforcement for the Greek champions, Olympiakos, who also renewed the contract of Portuguese Gelson Martins. Starting with Clayton, although the Piraeus club did not specify the terms in which the deal with Rio Ave was made, Transfermarkt states that the contract is valid until June 2029 and points to a transfer value of around five million euros. It should be remembered that both clubs are controlled by Evangelos Marinakis. The Brazilian striker, who scored 10 goals in 19 games for the villagers in the first half of the season, is already in the squad of Olympiakos coach, José Luis Mendilibar, for Wednesday's game with Asteras Tripolis, counting in the Greek League. As for Gelson Martins, he will have renewed until 2028 with the Athens team, again according to Transfermarkt, as the extension of the new contract was not revealed. Since 2023 in Piraeus, the 30-year-old Portuguese international has scored four goals in 22 games this season. Olympiakos remains in third place in the Greek League, two points behind leaders AEK but with one less game played, and has qualified for the Champions League play-offs, where they will face Bayer Leverkusen.
