He is rated as 8 million (sorry I am talking Euros). Transfer market de has him at that still I think but it is old:

Not surprised, heis a flying machine. I am sure this has all raised his price, but probably if Olympiakos Piraeus do sell, they would not say no to 8 Million Pounds. Even less if they retain some selling on rights.
Last year, long time ago, before he really exploded Olympiakos turned down many bids for him, I think one was a 5 million Pounds offer from blackburn at the time!
Why he is expensive if you cannot already see is that even though he is one of the best full backs you will see - never makes mistakes and is exceptional passer,crosser, that is not his best position. He should really be played in midfield or winger. He is very fast and beats players for fun. Also he scores/creates many goals. He makes football look easy. If you do get him, you will see.
