Hamburger SV is interested in Lorenzo Pirola, a 24-year-old Italian centre-back for Olympiakos Piräus. It is said that the club is seeking a potential successor for Luka Vuskovic, whose departure is expected in the summer. Pirola, an Italian U21 international who originated from Inter Milan's youth system, is a potential candidate for a summer signing because of an unclear defensive situation at the German club. The left-footed player was previously linked with FC Schalke in 2021, but a transfer was not completed. A transfer fee would be required as Pirola is under contract with Olympiakos until 2028. During the 2025/2026 season, Pirola has made 15 appearances in the Super League 1, scoring one goal and providing one assist. Other clubs, including the Italian clubs Milan, Roma, and Juventus, have also been linked with the defender. According to reports in January 2026, Olympiacos would require an offer of €30 million to start negotiations. In December 2025, a bid of €20-25 million was cited as a viable starting point.
