Angola‑Portugal centre-back David Carmo, currently on the books of Nottingham Forest but playing for Spanish side Real Oviedo, is reportedly being lined up for a move to Greek giants Olympiacos in a deal rated at an 86% probability.
According to data from Transfermarkt, the 26-year-old left-footed defender, who stands at 1.96m, is valued at €5.00m as talks over his next step gather pace. With no contract expiry date publicly listed, there is also speculation that Forest could yet allow Carmo’s situation to drift towards free-agent territory if no agreement is reached.
Born in Aveiro on 19 July 1999, Carmo holds dual Angola and Portugal nationality and is listed as a central defender by trade. He currently wears the number 16 shirt at Real Oviedo, where he has been rebuilding form and fitness after previous spells at higher-profile clubs. The move to Spain has given him regular minutes and a platform to re‑establish his reputation as a commanding presence at the back.
Recent performance data highlights his growing influence. In his latest outing for Real Oviedo, Carmo featured in a tight league contest in Spain, turning in a solid defensive display as his side battled to protect their goal, a showing that has helped maintain Olympiacos’ interest as they weigh up a summer move.
Carmo’s career path has already taken him through several competitive leagues, and his projected valuation, combined with his age profile, makes him an attractive option for a club seeking long-term stability in central defence.
Should a switch to Piraeus materialise, whether for a fee close to his €5.00m market value or in a future free-agent scenario, it could prove a decisive step in reshaping Carmo’s career trajectory and restoring him to the European spotlight.
