Mali international defender Drissa Diakite signed for Ligue 1 side Bastia on Monday from Greek champions Olympiakos.
The 28-year-old, who failed to become a first team regular at Olympiakos after joining them last year from another Ligue 1 side Nice, signed a two year contract with the Corsica-based side.
Diakite, who played 160 times for Nice from 2005 to 2012, could well be joined by another player from Olympiakos in veteran midfielder Francois Modesto.
Modesto, 34 and who came through the Bastia youth system, has been with Olympiakos for three seasons but has been in Corsica since Sunday where he has been holding talks with club directors.
