TSG Hoffenheim: Record purchase Diadié Samasséko before moving to Olympiakos

Matching reports

What Galatasaray Istanbul did on Turkey’s September 8 Deadline Day, Olympiacos Piraeus are trying to emulate on the last day of the Greek transfer window. In addition to the transfers of James Rodríguez (31), Cédric Bakambu (31) and Omar Elabdellaoui (30), the master should also be on Hoffenheim’s record purchase Diadié Samassékou (26) – that was reported greek media initially unanimous, before the “table football” and “sky“ followed.

While James from Al-Rayyan SC and Bakambu from Olympique Marseille join on free transfers after termination of contract, free transfer Elabdellaoui will return and Samassékou is on loan. TSG Hoffenheim signed the Malian midfielder in 2019 for a fee of 14 million euros from RB Salzburg – the most expensive transfer in the club’s history to date.

The “six” under coach Andre Breitenreiter recently lost his regular place to newcomer Grischa Prömel (27) and only played 34 minutes in six games in the Bundesliga. Angelo Stiller (21) and Sebastian Rudy (32) were preferred by the bank.


Summer 2022
All arrivals and departures of OlympiakosTo overview
Samassékou is under contract in Kraichgau until 2024 and is expected to sign in Piraeus on Thursday. In the Greece squad he would be the most valuable player ahead of James and is now the 13th signing of the summer – if Olympiakos sign all transfer targets on deadline day that number could rise to 16 or 17.
