‎Premier League clubs, notably Manchester United and Arsenal, have reportedly been monitoring two promising talents from Olympiacos, Christos Mouzakitis and Charalampos Kostoulas, over the past few months. Both players are widely regarded as key figures in Greece's emerging golden generation of footballers.

‎Mouzakitis, a left-footed central midfielder, made history in November by becoming the youngest-ever debutant for Greece in a senior international match against Finland. Meanwhile, Kostoulas, primarily a number nine or second striker, has garnered significant attention from several top clubs.

‎Despite this interest, Olympiacos sporting director Darko Kovacevic has confirmed that Kostoulas will not be leaving the club anytime soon. He stated, "There is growing interest in him, but he is an Olympiacos player. He will stay at Olympiacos for sure this season, and I hope for longer."

‎Both Mouzakitis and Kostoulas are expected to remain with Olympiacos for at least another season, as they are tied to long-term contracts with the club. This will likely deter immediate moves to other clubs, although the ongoing interest from top European teams suggests their futures remain in high demand.
