Starting next season, Nikola Mirotic will be the new basketball player of Olimpia Milano, it was officially confirmed on the team’s website.
Big news coming from Italy. The drama and saga that lasted almost two months finally got its epilogue. Mirotic has officially signed a contract with the Italian team. This news was officially confirmed on Milano’s website, and the latest information says that it is a three-year deal.
We remind you, there was talk for a long time about the former Spanish national team player becoming part of Partizan. The black and whites even confirmed that there was an agreement, but Mirotic gave up at the last moment due to the large number of threats he received if he signed for Željko Obradovic’s team.
Mirotic averaged 15.4 points and 4.3 rebounds for 16.4 PIR in Euroleague in the previous season. His numbers were similar in the Spanish Liga Endesa – 13.6 points and 4.6 rebounds for 15.6 PIR. His episode in Barcelona cannot be characterized as successful, given that the EuroLeague trophy was missing. Due to the reduced budget, it was decided that the two parties should part ways. In the jersey of the Catalan team, he won two domestic titles, along with two Cups.
