Goalkeepers marry-go-round: Eibar – Sevilla – Olympiacos – Wolverhampton – Roma

A custodian roller-coaster across Europe. Five goalkeepers found themselves as a part of a domino effect where five clubs from five different countries might do some trades.Let’s start from the ‘smallest’ club of them all. Relegated Spanish side Eibar saw their goalkeeper Marko Dmitrović move to Seville as a free agent, where competition awaited him in the form of Czech Tomas Vaclik and Moroccan Yassine Bounou or just Bono. It was clear that someone would have to pack their bags, and in the end it was an experienced Czech.His contract expired and as a free agent he moved to Greek giants Olympiacos with whom he will sign a contract for two years plus one additional. For a long time, the Greek champion weighed between him and Marco Bizot from AZ Alkmaar, and in the end they decided on Vaclik, who is expected to undergo medicals in Athens tomorrow.Chelsea sold Giroud to Milan for ‘pocket change’, medical checks remainingCzech comes to a vacant position among the posts as Portuguese goalkeeper Jose Sa will move to to Wolverhampton. The Portuguese will strengthen the colony of his compatriots and Jorge Mendes’ clients at the club. Mendes is the unofficial boss of the club and he mostly brings players he represents to Molineaux. Regardless, Olympiacos will earn a good amount – when Jose Sa came, the Greek side paid Porto 3 million USD in compensation, and now they will collect close to 12 million USD from Sa’s departure to Wolves.Sa will replace his experienced countryman Rui Patricio at the goal of Wolverhampton. Rui Patricio, the goalkeeper of the Portuguese national team, is moving to Roma at the request of new coach Jose Mourinho (another client of Mendes). Roma have been negotiating with the Wolves for days regarding the goalkeeper and an agreement has been reached that the transfer will amount to 13 million USD plus bonuses.Coutinho returns and brings four offers to the Nou CampThe Portuguese should be a long-term solution to the goal of another ‘wolf-team’ – Roma, who had bad experiences with Pau Lopez, Robin Olsen and Antonio Mirante lately. Lopez has already packed his suitcases and moved to Marseille, who paid 1.2 million USD for his loan, on the condition that they must buy him off for an additional 16.5 million USD when the Spaniard registers 20 games at the Velodrome.In the end, almost everyone will make some money in this marry-go-round. Everyone except poor Eibar…
