Olimpia Milano: after Hall and Melli, two more possible excellent departures
Tough decisions for president/coach Messina
In fact, Olimpia Milano 2024/25 will be completely different from the one that won, just a couple of weeks ago, Scudetto number 31 in its history. Lots of excellent goodbyes, particularly those of Hall and, above all, of captain Melli who made it known that he had been "cut" by coach Messina with a quick phone call.
The Red and White people è worried, also becauseè there could be other illustrious departures. In particular, watch out for the future of Napier and Shields. The former, even with rather clear posts, has made it clear that his stay in Milan seems a very remote possibility. There is talk of too high economic demands from the American playmaker.
Also of concern is Shields, the star of the team along with Mirotic. Despite a guaranteed contract until June 2026, Shields could pack his bags and go play elsewhere. So many top clubs are on his trail. However, it seems that the red and white club does not want to listen to any proposal. Shields è too important to let him get away.
Meanwhile, from abroad come rumors that Melli is one step away from being a new Fenerbahce player (there would already be an agreement in principle). For the 33-year-old former red and white captain, it would be a return, having already played for the Turkish club for two seasons, from 2017 to 2019, with even three trophies won.
