Joel Roca is set to join Olympiacos following a transfer agreement with Girona FC, marking the end of the 21-year-old winger’s tenure with the Catalan club. While the official announcement from the teams is pending, the player has already departed Girona’s pre-season preparations to finalize his move to the Greek Super League side.
Transfer Details and Financial Structure
The transfer of Joel Roca to Olympiacos is valued at approximately seven million euros. According to reports surrounding the negotiations, the deal includes a significant sell-on clause, ensuring Girona retains a percentage of any future transfer fee should the Greek club sell the player later. Roca has been absent from Girona’s training sessions for several days, signaling the advanced state of the negotiations before his arrival at the Olympiacos pre-season training camp in Amsterdam.
Departure from Montilivi
Roca, a product of the Girona youth academy, emerged as one of the standout performers for the club during the previous campaign. Despite the team’s relegation struggles, his development was viewed as a bright spot for the organization.
Girona’s Pre-season Schedule
The timing of the transfer coincides with Girona’s initial pre-season friendly against Saudi side Al-Qadsiah, scheduled for this afternoon in Vilablareix. Roca was notably absent from the squad list for this fixture.
