Manchester United and Real Madrid are among the clubs showing an interest in the potential transfer of Olympiacos wonderkid Charalampos Kostoulas, CaughtOffside understands.
A number of top clubs have sent their scouts to keep tabs on Kostoulas in recent times, with the talented 17-year-old forward already making waves in the Olympiacos first-team, scoring three goals for them so far this season.
Sources with a close understanding of the situation have informed CaughtOffside that Man Utd are among the teams to have monitored him closely, along with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and West Ham United.
Sources have also stated that Olympiacos are open to selling Kostoulas for around €20million in what could be a very significant deal to boost their finances and help them reinvest in their squad.
One imagines that sort of price should be perfectly affordable for clubs like United and Madrid, though of course it’s also a bit of a gamble paying that much for an unproven player, even if he looks like one with bags of potential.
