Christos Mouzakitis, a 19-year-old Greek central midfielder, had attracted interest from European clubs, including PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord. Both clubs had seriously considered the midfielder and had shown a willingness to acquire him. Olympiacos had received information that the Dutch clubs were preparing a proposal valued at 15 million euros. PSV has a spending ceiling of 15 million euros, while Feyenoord has never exceeded 10 million. Hull, an English club, completed the transfer in a few hours. West Ham had also been recently linked with the player. The Greek international has 11 caps for his country. His current market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €25.00m. The September 2026 transfer to Hull was for a guaranteed €15 million, with the fee potentially rising to €20 million with bonuses. The deal also reportedly included a 50% sell-on clause. In late 2025, a reported €28 million bid from Manchester United was rejected. In March 2026, Olympiacos's asking price was cited as €30 million to Juventus.
