TOP STORY: Joel Bolomboy set to stay with Asvel despite EuroLeague interest
Joel Bolomboy is set to remain with Asvel for the 2026-27 season despite the major changes surrounding the French club, according to BasketNews sources.
Several EuroLeague clubs and teams from other markets inquired about the 32-year-old center’s availability, but Bolomboy’s agreement with Asvel remains in place despite the club’s reduced budget and numerous departures.
The news comes just one day after Bolomboy was linked with a move to Unicaja. The Malaga club had emerged as a potential destination for the former Crvena Zvezda center, but there was no indication that talks had reached an advanced stage.
Instead, Bolomboy now appears set to stay committed to Asvel, joining Patty Mills as another experienced player who has reportedly remained willing to continue with the French club despite the uncertainty surrounding its project.
Bolomboy’s decision would represent a rare piece of positive news for Asvel during a difficult offseason. Sylvain Francisco has already joined Panathinaikos, Daniel Theis moved to Maccabi Tel Aviv, and Armoni Brooks signed with Valencia, while the future of Nick Weiler-Babb remains uncertain.
TRANSFERS & MOVES: Edwin Jackson confirms new Asvel deal
Edwin Jackson has confirmed that he signed a new two-year contract with Asvel. The French club has yet to officially announce the agreement, with Jackson revealing the news himself on the “First Team” podcast.
The veteran guard said the deal aligns with his plans for the final years of his playing career. Jackson is in his third stint with Asvel and has made 91 EuroLeague appearances for the club.

If all these Asveli departures actually happen, someone needs to make a mini-documentary about everything that went on behind the scenes over the past few months. 👀 pic.twitter.com/DCp2AMlDfE
INSIDER DESK: Crvena Zvezda reaches agreement with Real Madrid prospect Andrej Bjelic
Crvena Zvezda has reached an agreement with young Serbian prospect Andrej Bjelic, according to Meridian Sport. The 18-year-old has accepted the club’s offer and is set to leave Real Madrid, where he played for the youth teams and also had opportunities to train with the first team.
Bjelic, born in 2008, is considered one of the promising players of his generation and has represented Serbia at youth level. He won a bronze medal with the U16 national team two years ago and was part of Serbia’s U18 squad at this summer’s European Championship.
Bjelic has also said goodbye to Real Madrid on social media, further indicating that his time with the Spanish club is coming to an end.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: Luca Vildoza on Partizan – “I said it was impossible, and now I’m here”
Luca Vildoza has learned not to rule anything out when it comes to his basketball career. Asked about a potential future move to Penarol, the biggest rival of his boyhood club Quilmes, the new Partizan point guard refused to completely close the door.
“I don’t know. Last year I said it was impossible for me to sign with Partizan, and now I’m here. So I will never close the door on any club,” Vildoza told DSports.
His move to Partizan will also make him the only player in history to have represented Olympiacos, Panathinaikos, Crvena zvezda and Partizan, once the 2026-27 season begins. After spells with both Greek giants and Crvena zvezda, Vildoza is now set to add another major chapter to his European career in Belgrade.
