Transfer Target Turns Down Olympiacos for Benfica

Olympiacos appears to be losing out on a transfer opportunity, as Andre Luiz, a player who seemed to be a target for the club, is expressing a preference for Benfica. According to reports from Portugal, Luiz views the possibility of playing for Benfica more favorably than for Olympiacos, despite the administrative connection between the two clubs. The player is in the process of evaluating his options, taking into account the role he will have on the team and the competitive level. The prospect of Benfica, with its presence in top European competitions, seems to appeal to him more.
