Summary: Maccabi Haifa - Olympiakos 1:1 (Sport1)

In Greece they explain: this is how Eran Zahavi caused a domino effect with Olympiakos and Botafogo, two of the teams that fought for his services before he signed with Maccabi Tel Aviv.

At the time, Zahavi was debating between the offers from the Greek champion and the Brazilian club, and now the two are working together on a deal that will fill the slot he left empty for Botafogo.

Since the rejection she received from Xavi, Botafogo has been frantically searching for an experienced, high-profile striker to step into the shoes intended for the Israeli striker.

So far she has not really succeeded in the task, but the solution may come from Olympiakos.

According to reports in Greece, the clubs are negotiating a deal that would send the 31-year-old Tiquinio to Rio de Janeiro, ending Botafogo's long search.

At this stage, there are still differences between the clubs regarding the compensation that the Greek champion will receive, but the possibility of the loan deal is gaining momentum in recent days.

In any case, Tiquinho will not leave Olympiakos in the coming days and he is expected to take part in the return match against Maccabi Haifa in the second qualifying round of the Champions League, but according to the latest reports, he may drop to the bench in favor of Yosef El Arabi, among other things because "his head is not in Olympiakos, But in Brazil."

This is good news for Barak Becher's team, which struggled against the Brazilian's physicality in the 1:1 last Wednesday.

And what if he had signed?

Either way, the connecting link in this story, they explain in Greece, is Eran Zahavi.

On the "Sport24" website, they explained: "When Mitch Goldhar tried to convince Vladan Ivić to return to Maccabi Tel Aviv, he promised him to bring back Eran Zahavi. For a moment it seemed that Olympiakos would make his task impossible, because it really wanted Zahavi."

According to the report, Olympiakos showed great interest in Zezavi until the end of May, and "this is what made him refuse to give in to Maccabi Tel Aviv's pressure to return to the team."

At this point, Botafogo entered the picture, and Olympiakos, who extended El Arabi's contract, decided to get off of Zavi.

"Now the triangle Olympiakos-Zahevi-Botapogo returns, in an indirect way," they explained.

"If Zahabi had signed with Botafogo, Tiquinho would have stayed at Olympiakos. If Zahabi had signed with Olympiacos, Al Arabi might have left. Now the cards have been reshuffled."
