Valencia secure loan signing of Pablo Maffeo from Olympiakos
The Spanish defender joins the Mestalla side on a temporary deal from the Greek champions.
Valencia have completed the signing of Pablo Maffeo from Olympiakos Piraeus on loan, the club announced on August 19, 2026.
The deal sees the defender move to the Spanish side for the duration of the season, with an option for a further extension understood to be part of the agreement.
Maffeo, who previously featured for Manchester City and Espanyol earlier in his career, joins Valencia as they seek defensive reinforcements ahead of the new La Liga campaign.
Olympiakos confirmed the departure of the player, thanking him for his contributions during his time at the club.
The loan agreement was finalised following a medical examination conducted earlier in the week, with Valencia confirming the completion of paperwork on Tuesday evening.
This marks Maffeo's return to Spanish football after several seasons abroad, including his recent spell in Greece where he played a key role in Olympiakos' title-winning campaign.
Valencia's sporting director expressed confidence in the player's ability to adapt quickly to the demands of La Liga, citing his experience in top-level European competition.
The club is expected to provide further details regarding squad registration and jersey assignment in due course.
No transfer fee was disclosed in the official statement, with sources indicating that the arrangement is purely a loan deal between the two parties.
Maffeo is set to be introduced to the squad during training sessions later this week, with the coaching staff hopeful he will feature in upcoming friendly matches.
His arrival adds depth to Valencia's defensive options as they prepare for the challenges of domestic and European competition this season.
