A new star is coming to Fenerbahçe Beko, who has established an exciting team with Itoudis this season, albeit not very high in financial terms.
Fenerbahce Beko, one of the most successful representatives of Turkish basketball in the EuroLeague with Anadolu Efes in the last period, this season’s goal is to stay in the Final Four, for which it has been longing for a long time. Fenerbahce’s last away win against Partizan was also extremely valuable.
EXPECTATIONS WERE NOT HIGH
Despite being champions of the Turkish Basketball Super League last season, the Yellow-Navy Blues parted ways with Sasha Djordjevic and Dimitris Itoudis, who was the head coach of CSKA Moscow for a long time, was appointed as the head of the team. Expectations were not very high this season in Fenerbahçe Men’s Basketball branch, which has also undergone a new restructuring in the squad.
DECISION TO RESTRUCTURE
However, Itoudis and his students had a good reaction on the court and were able to show very good results both in the league and in the EuroLeague. In this difficult process, transfer rumors arose from time to time in Fenerbahçe, which had an injury problem. At the beginning of these names was Tyler Dorsey, who wanted to try his luck in the NBA last summer.
ITOUDIS WANTS SO MUCH
The 27-year-old basketball player, who could not find what he was looking for in the NBA but still wanted to stay in America, was playing in the Texas Legends team of the NBA G League. However, the successful guard did not go as he wanted, and according to the statement made yesterday, he left the team.
THIS TIME THE DEAL IS SO CLOSE
Fenerbahce Beko is very close to an agreement with Tyler Dorsey, which he was interested in in the summer of 2022, this time.
According to the information conveyed by Luca D’Alessandro, a name well known in the basketball world; The two sides are negotiating a 1.5 + 1 year contract. The Greek player will earn $200,000 per month if the deal is reached.
ANADOLU EFES CONTACT US
After being cut from the team by the Dallas Mavericks in December, Dorsey met with Olympiakos, Fenerbahce Beko and Monaco in the EuroLeague, and this time he contacted Anadolu Efes, the guard minister in the transfer market.
However, Fenerbahçe Beko, whose interest in Dorsey has continued for a long time, is determined to reach a happy ending this time.
HAPPY END IS CLOSE THIS TIME
Dorsey’s transfer must take place within 2 days due to the closing of the transfer window in the EuroLeague. Therefore, the negotiations are expected to be completed in the near future.
Dorsey, who played for Texas Legends in the G-League recently, averaged 18.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game.
Dorsey, who had the success of playing the Final Four with Olympiakos in the 2021-22 season, averaged 12.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists that season.
