Olympiacos Set To Sign Fabio Aurelio From Liverpool


Olympiacos have made an offer for Liverpool full-back Fabio Aurelio, according to a report from The Liverpool Echo.

The Brazilian is out of contract at Anfield in the summer, and the Greek giants are looking to snap the 30-year-old up on a free transfer.

Aurelio has made just 10 starts and 13 appearances as a substitute for the Reds this season, and it is unclear whether or not he will be offered a new deal after negotiations were disrupted by his injury problems this season.

The player is currently sidelined with a thigh problem and injured his knee on holiday in Brazil before the season began. Emiliano Insua has established himself at left-back in Aurelio's absence.

Reds manager Rafael Benitez is apparently keen to play Aurelio before the season ends as he is set to return to training next week.

However, it is looking increasingly likely that Aurelio will be plying his trade in the Greek Super League next season.
