Olympiacos Keen On Barcelona Youngster Keirrison - Report

The Brazilian hitman could be on the move again in January...

Keirrison (Barcelona)
According to a report in El Mundo Deportivo, Champions League hopefuls Olympiacos are keen on Barcelona youngster Keirrison, currently on loan at Benfica.

The 21-year-old joined Barcelona from Palmeiras last summer and was almost immediately farmed out on loan to Portugal in order to get used to the European style of football.

However, Keirrison has failed to break into the Lisbon outfit's first team so far. With competition from players such as Javier Saviola, Oscar Cardozo and Alan Kardec at Benfica, Keirrison appears to be surplus to requirements and a premature end to his loan deal is one of a host of possibilities.

Greek powerhouse Olympiacos, who recently qualified for the knock-out phase of the Champions League, are closely monitoring the situation and head coach Zico is ready to make a move for Keirrison should Benfica send him back to Spain.
