As in the case of Olympiacos, club president Evangelos Marinakis has set a target for the team to reach the Europa League final, and he has been conducting his transfer programmes in such a way that it suits head coach Jose Luis Mendilibar's priorities. While the squad remains deficient in certain areas like the midfield and attack, we can expect Marinakis' scouts to go for a few more signings before the end of the summer transfer window.
He has already made a statement by landing the signature of Armando 'La Hormiga' Gonzalez from Chivas de Guadalajara. Mexican fans are set to see one of their own play on the European stage with a legendary Greek club soon.
