Olympiakos want Vucinic, Valbuena

Greek giants Olympiakos are being linked with an ambitious swoop for Mirko Vucinic and Mathieu Valbuena, according to Greek daily Gavros.

Having clinched their fourth consecutive league title, the Greek side hope to make an impact in Europe as well and are likely to spend heavily in the summer transfer window.

Daily newspaper Gavros understands that Olympiakos are planning an assault on Juventus striker Mirko Vucinic.

The experienced forward looks set to leave Turin in the summer having been deemed surplus to requirements and he should be available on a cut-price deal.

Meanwhile, Olympiakos also hope to sign French midfielder Mathieu Valbuena from Marseille, but that is not going to be an easy task.

The Frenchman, too, should be changing clubs in the summer as he is looking for a new challenge, but the problem is sides from England and Spain are showing interest in his services, meaning a switch to Greece seems unlikely.
