Further details emerge about Luis Palma's 'not so simple' Olympiacos switch

Further details of Luis Palma's potential move to Olympiacos have emerged.

It was recently reported that the Celtic winger was closing in on a Parkhead exit, and now, sportime.gr claims that if all goes well, Palma's move to Greece will be completed before Monday's transfer deadline, although it will be an initial loan.

Things are said to be 'not so simple', though.

While the Piraeus club wants to eventually buy the 25-year-old permanently, Celtic would like to include an option to buy in the deal.

Olympiacos, however, are said to prefer having some leeway to negotiate the Scottish Premiership champions' €4m asking price come the summer.

Palma came on as a late substitute in his current side's 4-2 loss to Aston Villa in the Champions League yesterday evening, and it could well have been his last appearance in green and white.

Although he initially took to life in Glasgow's east like a duck to water, scoring regularly both domestically and in Europe, the Honduran wide-man has fallen out of favour over the past 12 months.

He has started just twice for his team across all competitions this campaign and now looks set for a January exit.
