Masouras rumours for saudi arabia

The Greek Exodus to Saudi Arabia Continues: Giorgos Masouras Linked with Al-Khaleej

The Saudi Pro League's aggressive pursuit of top football talent appears to be setting its sights on Greece once again. Rumors are circulating with increasing intensity that Al-Khaleej, a club managed by former Panathinaikos coach Giorgos Donis, is making a strong push to sign Olympiacos's versatile winger, Giorgos Masouras. This potential move follows a trend of prominent Greek players making the switch to Saudi Arabia, with Kostas Fortounis and Dimitris Kourbelis already having joined Al-Khaleej.

Sources suggest that the club has initiated contact with Masouras's representatives, and the player himself is reportedly receptive to the idea. The presence of coach Donis and his former Superleague teammates is believed to be a major draw for the 31-year-old. After spending a portion of last season on loan at VfL Bochum in the Bundesliga, Masouras is seeking a team where he will have a more prominent role, especially with his position at Olympiacos seemingly less secure under coach José Luis Mendilibar.

While no official bid has been submitted to Olympiacos yet, an offer is expected soon. The Greek club, who has Masouras under contract until 2027, is reportedly open to negotiations. This potential sale would provide the club with a significant financial boost and allow them to reinvest in their squad.
