It's all confirmed: Rodinei has joined Santos from Olympiacos. The defender has penned terms with his new club and completed all registration steps. This deal brings to an end a high-profile pursuit, with Santos now adding another piece to their evolving squad structure. Santos faced no rival bids for the player, enabling them to negotiate directly and wrap up the deal efficiently. So far in this season, Santos are conceding 1.5 goals a game (36 in 24), more than they'd like compared to the Brasileiro Serie A standard. The hope is Rodinei adds a bit of steel and helps make them tougher to break down. Speculation continues to connect Olympiacos with Leon Bailey, Gustavo Puerta and Marcus Holmgren Pedersen while no fresh rumours surround Santos. Want more transfer rumours like this?
