Olympiacos denies interest in Pablo Garcia amid Ruben Vargas transfer negotiations
Summary

Olympiacos has officially denied rumors linking the club to Real Betis winger Pablo Garcia. The team is currently focused on negotiations for Sevilla winger Ruben Vargas, though the clubs remain at a financial impasse. Reports indicate a €3 million gap exists between the €12 million offer from Olympiacos and the €15 million valuation set by Sevilla. Meanwhile, Olympiacos is restructuring its attacking options, with forward Clayton Silva in loan discussions with Rizespor to provide more playing time for Armando Gonzalez. The club recently brought back Konstantinos Fortounis to bolster the squad following his stint in Saudi Arabia. Olympiacos manager Jose Luis Mendilibar aims to limit his striker rotation to Ayoub El Kaabi and Armando Gonzalez for the current campaign.
