Valencia’s point guard Chris Jones is the target of many clubs this season when it comes to the EuroLeague and his next destination.
According to the latest information from well-informed Israeli journalist Arel Ginsber, Partizan is the most persistent in trying to bring the leader of the Spanish team, who has an exit clause in his contract.
To complete the transfer to any other club, compensation would need to be paid to Valencia. The exact amount is unknown, but in that case, “the bats” wouldn’t hesitate.
So what’s the problem then? The problem lies in the fact that Jones recently emphasized that even if it means Valencia playing in the EuroCup, he wants to stay in the same place and continue to be the central figure of the team.
Undoubtedly, it would be an important reinforcement for the black and whites if it happens. The American averaged 12.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game last season.
That wasn’t enough even for the play-in, mostly due to the debacle against Asvel in the penultimate round, which led to Alex Mumbru’s dismissal.
