Overview
- Olympiacos officially presented Armando 'Hormiga' González after completing a permanent transfer from Club Deportivo Guadalajara, with the club announcing his arrival on Saturday, August 22, 2026.
- Multiple reports place the fee at roughly $10 million fixed plus up to $2 million in performance variables, and Chivas retained a percentage of any future sale though exact sell-on terms vary between outlets.
- González is a Chivas academy product who joined in 2018, broke into the first team in January 2024, won shared top-scorer honors in Apertura 2025 and again scored heavily in Clausura 2026, and earned senior Mexico call-ups including the 2026 World Cup.
- Mehdi Taremi’s reported exit to Al-Wasl increases González’s immediate opportunity to compete for a starting role in Olympiacos’ attack, and the club is now reported to be pursuing West Ham midfielder Edson Álvarez on a loan with an option to buy.
- Chivas framed the sale as a proud departure of a homegrown player who will help the club financially, while Olympiacos signaled it is reinforcing for domestic and European competition and González has pledged to win over the fans.
