Giordano Bortolani lands in Spain on a one-year loan basis.

Time of renewals and confirmations, in Olimpia Milano’s house, but also of departures. In fact, the meneghino club on Tuesday made official the temporary transfer of young Giordano Bortolani, class 2000, already on loan to Universo Treviso in the 2021/22 season. The product of the nursery, which remains the property of the Milanese club until 2025. is moving for one year to Manresa, Spain, where he will play for the local team, Baxi, playing in the Liga ACB. This is the first experience abroad for the Italian guard.

Among the players confirmed by Olimpia Milano over the summer are Paul Biligha and Gigi Datome. The latter, born in 1987, returned to Italy in the summer of 2020 to wear the red and white jersey after ending a fruitful experience in Turkey, at Fenerbahce. Previously, the Montebelluna native small forward had walked the parquet floors of the NBA, wearing the colors of the Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics. Mens Sana Siena, Scafati Basket and Virtus Roma were Datome’s other Italian teams.
