Giorgos Masouras was initially of interest to VfL Bochum in the winter. However, in the second attempt, he is likely not to join VfL Bochum as he is inclined to stay at Olympiakos Piräus, which has reportedly offered him a new and improved contract.

VfL Bochum has been attempting to sign Giorgos Masouras for over half a year. The deal initially fell through earlier this year, but Bochum remained interested. Olympiakos is trying to retain Masouras by offering a significant signing bonus and increased wages. Masouras is interested in moving to the Bundesliga, although it would mean a pay cut. A decision is expected next week.
