Arabi lives in Athens, awaiting the meeting with the administration for his future
Youssef El Arabi stayed in Athens, waiting for the meeting with the management of Olympiacos, in order to clarify his future.
Olympiakos completed its games for the 2021-22 season by winning the third championship and 47th in its history and the footballers from Wednesday (18/5) started their vacation.
However, not all of them have packed their bags, nor are they still with the tickets in hand. Youssef El Arabi, for example, stayed in Athens awaiting a meeting with the Red and White administration to clarify his future.
In fact, the Moroccan center forward is ready to stay inside the walls as long as necessary, until he finds the end with Olympiakos for the renewal of his contract and finds out what will be the next day in his career.
The African Striker wants to continue in the Piraeus team, he repeated it in his statements after the match with AEK and in the final appointment with the management to clear the landscape.
When will this meeting take place? No one at this time can put his hand on the fire and say with confidence. The appointment between the administration and Arabi can take place tonight or on Thursday (19/5), maybe at the end of the week. However, it is something that will be clarified soon, because the planning of the Piraeus team for the next period must proceed immediately. And the issue of the main center of the new season is crucial for Olympiakos.
Arabi has left his mark on the red and whites, he is a footballer who has scored 78 goals in 151 games in the last three years, of which 9 goals in 13 games against AEK. He has five hat-tricks against Olympiakos, more than any other foreign player in the history of the club, so the decision is not easy.
Olympiacos needs players of quality, personality and passion of the Moroccan and if they find them financially, they will continue their common path. Otherwise, the Piraeus PAE will have to find a high level with similar characteristics.
At the same time, within the days of the management meeting with Mathieu Valbouena for the renewal of his pending contract.
