Olympiacos snap up Brazilian prospect

Olympiacos CFP have completed the signing of Brazilian left-back Leonardo Jesus Geraldo from Brazilian second-tier side Portuguesa SP. The 22-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the Greek champions.

'Big step forward'
"It's a big step forward in my career," Leonardo said. "I am joining a big European club and the fact they have won ten out of the last eleven titles in Greece speaks volumes about them. I am willing to learn and give my best for my team." Leonardo is Olympiacos's third new signing during the transfer window following the arrivals of Fernando Belluschi and Mirnes Sisič. Olympiacos are second in the Greek Super League, one point behind leaders AEK Athens and face Chelsea FC in the first knockout round of the UEFA Champions League.
