According to his brother, Blackburn Rovers forward Mauro Formica is seeking a move to Olympiakos.

The Argentine has recently been in discussions with the Greek outfit with his older brother, Lautaro, who has suggested that a deal is possible.

Lautaro, who plays for Greek side Asteras Tripolis, told Sport24: "Of course I spoke with my brother about this.

"There is a possibility to make a transfer to Olympiakos. There is interest from the Greek champions.

"I said to him a lot of things about Greece and what Olympiakos means for the Greek football.

"The problem is that he has some issues with Blackburn that he must resolve.

"He told me that he wants to come to play here. It doesn't depend on him. It depends on the two clubs, Blackburn and Olympiakos. We will see what is going to happen."
