Charalampos Kostoulas, the 17-year-old Olympiacos sensation, has emerged as one of the most sought-after young talents in European football. The Greek striker has caught the attention of several top clubs, including Juventus, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Fiorentina, and Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Born on May 30, 2007, Kostoulas comes from a footballing family. His father, Athanasios, was a defender with over 300 appearances in the Greek top flight, while his older brother Konstantinos plays for Rio Ave’s Under-23 team in Portugal. Standing at 1.85 meters tall, Charalampos possesses the physical attributes of a modern striker with significant potential for further development.
Calciomercato [**detail**](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/juventus-chi-e-kostoulas-il-bimbo-doro-del-calcio-greco-per-il-f-28518) how Kostoulas’ rise to prominence began last season when he played a crucial role in Olympiacos’ UEFA Youth League triumph, defeating AC Milan in the final. This season, he has continued his impressive form, scoring five goals for the youth team and netting three times for the senior squad. His most recent goal came in a 1-1 draw against Kallithea in the Greek Superleague.
The young forward’s versatility is one of his key attributes. Capable of playing as a lone striker, second forward, or even as a wide attacker, Kostoulas offers tactical flexibility that appeals to many top clubs. His performances have not gone unnoticed, with several European giants sending scouts to watch him in action, most recently during Olympiacos’ Europa League match against FC Twente.
While Juventus may prioritize defensive reinforcements in the January transfer window, the club are also looking to the future in attack. Kostoulas represents the type of young, high-potential player that could inject new energy into the Bianconeri’s forward line.
Olympiacos are expected to demand a significant fee for their prized asset, certainly higher than the €600,000 valuation currently listed on Transfermarkt. The Greek club’s strong position is bolstered by Kostoulas’ contract, which runs until 2026.
