Varese blows everyone away: Nico Mannion arrives

Nico Mannion one step away from Varese

Pallacanestro Varese è is very close to placing a decisively significant market coup: according to what has been reported by 'La Prealpina', in fact, the white-and-red club would have broken the hesitations with Nico Mannion and would be very close to finding the agreement with the former Virtus Bologna, outgoing from Baskonia. For the son of Pace it would be an almost lightning return to the Italian league, which he left at the end of last season.

The needle of Mannion’s liking, which seemed to have shifted in recent days in the direction of Asvel first and then Tortona, è returned in the direction of Varese thanks to the direct intervention of CEO Luis Scola, who would guarantee the player important minutes and great responsibility, which the Basque club instead had not assured him so far.

The key that advantaged Varese in the negotiation è just the exit from the auction for Mannion of the French club and the Piedmontese one: the first, in fact, is trying to sink the blow for Shabazz Napier, outgoing from Red Star and also contended by Olimpia Milano, the second instead has signed a former Varese, Colbey Ross.

As for the figures, Mannion is expected to receive about 180,000 euros until June 30, 2023. The class of 2001 will thus wear his fifth professional jersey, after wearing those of Golden State Warriors in the NBA, Santa Cruz Warriors (Golden State’s G-League affiliate), Virtus Bologna and Saski Baskonia.
