Wolverhampton winger Daniel Podence has returned to Olympiacos, the Greek club he left three years ago. In the summer transfer window, there were rumors linking the Portuguese winger to Celtic, as manager Brendan Rodgers was in search of a replacement for his fellow countryman, Jota. However, Celtic ultimately signed Luis Palma from Aris in Greece instead, and Podence has now reunited with Olympiacos.
In a broader context, Olympiacos secured their spot in the group stage after defeating FK Cukaricki from Serbia in the play-off round. If the deal is finalized, Podence will join forces with former Manchester City striker Stefan Jovetic, whose signing was announced by the club earlier today. The prospect of European football played a significant role in Podence’s decision to leave Wolverhampton in pursuit of further career development.
