Olympiacos has shown interest in signing Suso, the 30-year-old Spanish left-footed winger, for many years. This summer marked the closest they came to finalizing the transfer, mainly due to Mendilibar's presence, who had previously collaborated with Suso at Sevilla. However, Suso sustained a serious injury towards the end of Sevilla's pre-season, rendering it impractical for Olympiacos to move forward with the acquisition.

Suso is trying to convince everyone that he can have an important role in the team under the new tactical setup.

Despite performing well at times last season, Suso is being considered for a transfer this summer to help Sevilla's financial situation.
