Armando González, Guadalajara forward, moves to Olympiacos in Greece after a week of negotiations that ended with a $12 million sale of 80% of his rights. La Hormiga signed a five‑year contract with the Greek club and already flew this morning, promising to succeed in Europe and return to the Rebaño in the future.
The transfer took place after Chivas accepted the Olympiacos offer to strengthen its attack with a young Mexican talent. The deal included a payment of $12 million to Chivas for 80% of the forward’s rights, leaving the club with the remaining 20%.
Before leaving, González went to the Chivas delegation to thank the board and the fans. In an emotional speech, he thanked Amaury Vergara, Milito and his teammates, acknowledging the support he received during his brief stint with the first team. “They were the first to give me the opportunity to play professional football,” he said with a broken voice.
González also promised Chivas supporters that, after growing as a player in Europe, he would return to the club to chase the glories he could not achieve in his single year of consistent minutes. The promise was met with enthusiasm from the fanbase, who look forward to seeing the striker on European pitches.
The move of La Hormiga involves not only a club change but also a family environment shift. Armando González traveled to Greece with his parents and siblings, who will be present at his presentation with Olympiacos. The family has been a constant in the player’s life, accompanying him through good and bad moments.
Olympiacos announced that González will join the squad in the upcoming transfer window. The Greek club hopes the forward will bring speed and creativity to the attack, complementing the current strikers.
With the flight already completed, Armando González heads to his new home in Greece, where he will start a new chapter in his career. The exact date of his official debut with Olympiacos has not yet been confirmed, but it is expected to take place in the 2026/27 season.
The Mexican club has stated that it will continue to support its former player and that the relationship with Olympiacos will remain open to future collaborations.
