Nottingham Forest midfielder Tiago Silva has completed a permanent move to Olympiacos.
The Portuguese heads to the fellow Evangelos Marinakis-owned club after little more than a year at the City Ground, moving for an undisclosed fee.
There had been speculation about Silva’s future throughout the summer and he has not featured for the Reds this season due to an ankle injury.

He makes the switch to Greece having made 47 appearances and scored four goals in the Garibaldi last term, following his transfer from Feirense in July 2019.
Silva’s departure comes after that of his compatriot Joao Carvalho earlier this week, with the club record signing joining Spanish side Almeria on a season-long loan.
Albert Adomah has also left by mutual consent, with further exits expected as the international window closes on Monday evening.
Head coach Sabri Lamouchi is keen to cut his squad, having made 12 additions so far, and the future of several players remains in doubt.
Midfielder Cafu is expected to head in the opposite direction to Silva and join Forest from Olympiacos, as part of a swap deal.
Lamouchi had said on Thursday that Silva would not be available to face Bristol City this weekend.
“Today we finished with all (fit) players available,” said the Reds manage.
“Tiago Silva started the warm-up with us, but he will not be available for this game.
“He is much better but he is not available.”
