Following his time with St. Pauli, Manolis Saliakas is being considered by Olympiacos as a notable Greek option for the right-back position. Saliakas, who is 29 and started his career at Olympiacos, is one of three candidates being evaluated for the role. The club is seeking a player with experience who can make an immediate contribution.
The requirement for a new right-back is also influenced by Rodinei's repositioning into a more attacking role. Saliakas offers experience from the Bundesliga and is regarded as a specialist right-back, a quality that differentiates him from other options being considered. The Greek international has 4 caps for his country and joined St. Pauli in July 2022. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €2.00m. He has previously been linked with clubs including VfL Wolfsburg and AEK Athens.
