Olympiakos acts to secure Ayoub El Kaabi's future
European clubs are lining up to snatch Morocco's goal scorer Ayoub El Kaabi.
Olympiakos' Greek management recently took a decisive step on the striker's future.
ShootandGoal reports that renewing El Kaabi's contract is a top priority as the club fears losing its leading scorer.
With his form attracting growing attention from other European clubs, the renewal talks are progressing ahead of his current deal expiry.
The Greek club considers the renewal a top priority, aiming to keep him for at least two more seasons, riding his excellent form and crucial role.
El Kaabi's absence from the Athens derby against AEK Athens due to injury underscored his immense impact, as Olympiakos could only draw 1-1.
The decision to fortify their star comes as other clubs circle, while Mendilibar's side looks to lock him in for more success.
Punchline 1: If contracts were hitmen, Ayoub's extension would have a clean, on-target finish. Sniper vibes, zero misses.
Punchline 2: A two-season deal now beats a cliffhanger later - less drama, more goals.
