Ruben Semedo to complete move to Olympiakos

Ruben Semedo to complete move to Olympiakos

Ruben Semedo's proposed move to Olympiakos is back on and set to be completed in the coming day.

Despite reports from Spain and Greece that negotiations had broken down, Semedo is set to join the Greek giants on a permanent deal.

Indeed, late last night, Semedo was photographed in Athens sporting an Olympiakos-themed scarf, the 25-year old centreback arriving in Greece to finalise the move.

It is believed that the fee will be in the region of 4.5 million euros, with Semedo signing a 4-year contract.

Upon arriving in the country, he is reported to have said "I am very happy and I hope to help the club."

Olympiakos are currently managed by Pedro Martins, the Portuguese coach joined at the club by a few compatriots, such as goalkeeper Jose Sa and winger Daniel Podence.

Last season, both Roderick Miranda and Gil Dias were also at the club on loan.
