Few and targeted grafts. This is the philosophy with which Virtus will face the market. One of the first problems to be solved is that of Nico Mannion, with the black V who would like to confirm it by extending his contract. For various health reasons, the Italian-American player did not shine this season, but the club is ready to give him another opportunity by reserving him a space both in the Euroleague and in the Italian league and now it is up to the player to decide whether to accept the extension or not to change. nothing and let the current intense one go on and end in 2023 with the risk, however, of being loaned.
With the return of Awudu Abass, the sector is mostly confirmed with the stays of Milos Teodosic, Marco Belinelli, Alessandro Pajola, Kyle Weems, Daniel Hackett and Isaia Cordinier. If Mannion accepts the Juventus proposal, then only a foreign guard is sought, otherwise the Italian player will also have to go fishing and at that point the name of Amedeo Della Valle would become hot, even if at the moment the club has never entered into a negotiation for a athlete who, terminating with Brescia, seems to have made a half leap in the dark. At the moment there are two starts in the long section, that of Ekpe Udoh and that of Kevin Hervey. The club mixes optimism with caution when it comes to discussing Jordan Mickey’s arrival and Toko Shengelia’s confirmation, but the two deals appear to have been concluded at least unofficially.
We are also working for the confirmation of Amar Alibegovic, with the company making a fair proposal to the Bosnian wing with Italian training and for the arrival of Achille Polonara. The negotiations are all uphill given that Fenerbahce continues to prove unfavorable to his departure and also in this case Virtus does not intend to pay a byout if it deems it exaggerated. The confirmation of Jakarr Sampson cannot be ruled out either.
