Olimpia Milano, Christos Stavropoulos advocates for salary cap

L'Olimpia has no plans to spend crazy amounts of money on the team to comeà

At the moment, team and management are focused on the upcoming play-off semifinal that will see Olimpia Milano take on Leonessa Brescia. It starts Saturday, at the Forum, with the first act of the series. Third confrontation between the two clubs in the post season. In the previous two, the red-and-white club has always passed the round.

At the same time, there is a lot of talk about the Olympia to come. Stavropoulos, Olimpia's GM, shed light on some key concepts, via Repubblica: "In addition to Shields and Mirotic, there are Lo, Tonut, with an’option, Ricci, Flaccadori, Bortolani, Caruso but there will be work to be done on the new team, as always… The market è difficult for everyone, top players are few and their contracts have skyrocketed".

The white-and-red executive puts emphasis on an issue that also worries other top clubs: "In the Euroleague we are very concerned and we are looking for suitable tools to protect the teams’ products and apply a salary cap. I do not want to get into the game of lining up who spends the most: everyone, to be competitive, invests what è right".

In short, even Olimpia Milano, a club that certainly does not have financial problems, hopes that ways can be found to curb expenses that continue to soar, especially those related to the price of players.
