Costinha and Pirola were the first on the list of renewals. Both had received million-euro offers in the summer, but the management chose to keep them and make them central to the team's future, given that they are young and have potential. The extension of Costinha's contract until 2029 was announced on Friday.

Olympiacos announced that 25-year-old Portuguese right-back Costinha has renewed his contract, extending an agreement that was previously set to expire in the summer of 2028. He joined the Greek club in July 2024 and has made 8 appearances in the Super League 1 this season. Costinha, who has one cap for Portugal's U21 team, has a current market value of €5.00m according to Transfermarkt.
