The highly-rated youngster has also caught the attention of Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Aston Villa, while European giants such as Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, and AC Milan are closely monitoring his progress.<\/p>\n<p>Kostoulas has been a revelation for Olympiacos, making 33 first-team appearances and contributing six goals and two assists. His playing style and goal-scoring ability have drawn comparisons to Argentine legend Gabriel Batistuta, earning him the nickname \u2018Babistuta.\u2019 Standing over six feet tall, the Greek forward is known for his physical presence, aerial ability, and composure in front of goal.<\/p>\n<p>His rapid rise began in the Olympiacos academy, where he played a crucial role in their UEFA Youth League triumph and was named Super League Greece 2 Young Player of the Season in 2024. Since breaking into the first team, he has continued to impress, even earning the Super League Greece Player of the Month award in December. On the international stage, he has already made his mark with Greece\u2019s U21 team, scoring twice in his first two appearances and featuring at various youth levels.<\/p>\n<p>Olympiacos are determined to keep hold of their prized talent, with Kostoulas under contract until 2030. However, with elite clubs circling, speculation continues to grow about when\u2014not if\u2014he will make a high-profile move. Although he was initially set to join Greece\u2019s senior squad for the Nations League clash against Scotland, a hamstring injury suffered in the Europa League prevented his debut. Now nearing a return to full fitness, he is expected to feature in Olympiacos\u2019 upcoming match against Panathinaikos.<\/p>\n<p>As interest in Kostoulas intensifies, the coming months could be crucial in determining his next career step.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United have reportedly made contact with Olympiacos over a potential move for 17-year-old forward Charalampos Kostoulas, putting them in a strong position in the race for his signature.
