The report also notes that this interest was known since his time at Huracan and that major clubs in Brazil and Argentina were surprised by Olympiacos signing him in summer 2023. It is also mentioned that Eze's name has been linked with River Plate and Boca Juniors in the past, however, the current report refers to a club in Brazil. Flamengo and Palmeiras are speculated as possible clubs, but no club is explicitly named.

Olympiacos recently rejected a transfer offer for Santiago Ese for a much lower amount than 40 million euros, specifically 18 million euros.

Santiago Ese, a 23-year-old Argentine international midfielder, is garnering attention from several Italian clubs. In the last transfer window, Olympiacos reportedly received offers approaching 18 million euros for him. Nevertheless, Olympiacos has indicated that they would require over 20 million euros to begin any negotiations. Scouts from Arsenal, Milan, Roma, Fiorentina, Bologna, and Atalanta are expected to attend the Olympiacos - AEK match, primarily focusing on Kostoulas and Mouzakitis, while also keeping an eye on Ese. The upcoming summer is anticipated to be significant for Ese, considering the interest from Italy and other regions.
