Shved posted a video clip from his training session on the social media platform. Immediately, supporters from Red Star’s fanbase flooded him with messages urging him to join their ranks, to which the Russian player didn’t shy away from responding.

One of the key players in Shved’s potential transfer could be the team’s coach, Dusko Ivanovic, as he has previously worked with the shooter at Khimki.
Alexey Shved faced a disappointing season on a team level with CSKA. The Russian giant fell short of securing the title, which led to an attack by a group of fans a few months ago that left him seriously injured. The 34-year-old player managed to recover and is currently working hard in preparation for the upcoming season, regardless of which team he ends up with.
Red Star began their preparations in Stara Pazova a few days ago. Following this, they are set to engage in friendly matches against local teams. Subsequently, the red and whites will embark on international travels, participating in three different tournaments. This strategic move aims to sharpen their form before the start of challenges in the EuroLeague and the regional championship. Their ambitions for these competitions are greater than ever.
As a reminder, this summer, the team from Belgrade has acquired a significant number of new talents, including Shabazz Napier and Miloš Teodosic. With the potential addition of Shved, the team’s prospects are looking even more exciting.
