Olympiacos Weigh Move for Spain Forward Borja Iglesias

Protothema's The Football Show reported Olympiacos are eyeing Spain forward Borja Iglesias, plus news on Tabórda, OFI, AEK, PAOK and Aris.

Olympiacos Weigh Move for Spain Forward Borja Iglesias

Olympiacos are exploring a move for Spanish forward Borja Iglesias, whom Greek broadcaster Protothema described as a world champion with the Spain national team, according to Tuesday's edition of The Football Show by Stoiximan, which streams live on protothema.gr.

The programme, hosted by Michalis Tsochos, Grigoris Papavasiliou, Giannikos Douskas and Akis Zikos, runs weekdays from 1pm to 3pm and is sponsored by the betting company Stoiximan.

Presenters discussed Iglesias's handshake with United States President Donald Trump and the forward's relationship with Olympiacos technical director Antonio Cordón, who leads the Piraeus club's transfer planning.

Cordón is a Spanish football executive who previously served as sporting director at Sevilla and Real Betis before joining Olympiacos. Iglesias, who spent much of his career in Spain including a spell at Real Betis, has been capped by the Spanish national team.

Tabórda injury update for Panathinaikos

The show also examined how long forward Tabórda will be sidelined from Panathinaikos's fixtures because of injury.

OFI's win over Olympiacos and Kontis's European bow

A live segment connected to Crete covered the aftermath of Cretan club OFI's victory over Olympiacos in the Greek championship, along with growing anticipation ahead of head coach Christos Kontis's first match in European competition.

OFI, based in the Cretan capital Heraklion, is one of Greece's established Super League clubs.

Concern at AEK over away form

The panel addressed concern within AEK over the club's run of away defeats in the championship this season.

AEK, based in Athens, is one of Greece's most decorated football clubs and is regularly grouped with Olympiacos and Panathinaikos among the country's traditional powerhouses.

PAOK and Aris transfers, and EPO's centenary

The show connected live from Aristotelous Square in Thessaloniki for the latest transfer news involving PAOK and Aris, as well as celebrations marking 100 years since the founding of the Hellenic Football Federation, known by its Greek acronym EPO.

PAOK and Aris are both based in Thessaloniki, Greece's second-largest city, where Aristotelous Square is a central public square. EPO, founded in 1926, is the governing body overseeing Greece's national teams and domestic competitions.

Panathinaikos and PAOK basketball Media Days

The show's camera crew also attended Media Days held by the Panathinaikos and PAOK basketball clubs, two of the sides that compete in the EuroLeague, capturing the atmosphere and comments from figures at both organisations.

The broadcast drew on a team of reporters covering each club: Kostas Ketsetzoglou for AEK, Giannis Seretis for Panathinaikos, Vasilis Konstantopoulos for Olympiacos, Stavros Sountoulidis for PAOK and Fotis Pliakos for Aris, alongside Giorgos Petridis and Michalis Stefanou covering Panathinaikos and Olympiacos basketball respectively, and Kostas Sotiriou on the Greek national basketball team. The edition also introduced a new social media segment presented by Maria Giota Mastoreli.
