Olimpia Milano, the truth about Nikola Mirotic

The words of Christos Stavropoulos

Olimpia Milano GM Christos Stavropoulos spoke to Sport24’s “MundoBasket Morning Show” about Nilkola Mirotic: "We were ready to strike at the right time to sign the greatest player in European basketball. Many times in the transfer campaign it is not the planning that counts, but the moment, the timing. All this worked in our favor to close the’deal".

"We did not settle with Mirotic before the end of the season, as è has been reported. What team would not want him? At that time there was no thought because we were in the finals. We were not focused on the buying campaign, but on the possibility of winning the scudetto".

"Certainly Mirotic was in our thoughts and we were interested. During the’summer it seemed that his options were different. He was close to a’different team. In the end, considering the timing, everything that è happened and the work done behind the scenes, we managed to sign him. We are very happy to have this player on our team", he concluded.
