Barcelona was informed from Saturday night that Olympiacos and Kostas Papanikolaou has a deal and just minutes ago informed all sides that on Monday a final decision on the matter will be made.
Barcelona has the right to match the offer made by Olympiacos to Papanikolaou and get him back to its roster. As Barca clarified, the club is ready to either match the offer, or let the player go. The Spaniards will not match the offer in order to pursue a possible – and never before made in Europe – “sign and trade” deal in order to get a buy out for the rights of the player.
