A familiar face at Moreirense, Lawrence Ofori, might soon be moving on. Whispers from Greece have grown into a loud call for the midfielder’s services. It seems his departure is more than just a rumor, with the move still very probable.
Moreirense has already started to plan for this possibility. They secured Vasco Sousa, a new talent, who has joined coach Vasco Botelho da Costa’s team. This move looks like smart preparation for Ofori’s likely exit.
Ofori, the 27-year-old Ghanaian, has been a key player for Moreirense. He’s been a regular starter on the field every season since 2022/23. Replacing such a central figure is a big task. A strong offer has come in from Greece, confirming their keen interest in him.
Here’s the tricky part for Moreirense: Greece’s transfer window stays open until the 12th of this month. This later deadline creates a real problem. If Ofori leaves so close to their own window closing, the club won’t have time to find a suitable new player. According to the newspaper Record, all signs point to Ofori making this jump. Moreirense is preparing, but the timing makes this deal a tight squeeze.
