Toni Cappellari reveals reasons for Nicolo Melli’s goodbye

The words of Toni Cappellari

In the Olimpia Milano household, the news of captain Nicolò Melli's farewell has made a lot of noise. Toni Cappellari, a former white and red manager, spoke about it to QS revealing why in his opinion the new Fenerbahce player decided to return to Turkey.

"Nicolò Melli was a bit closed by Nikola Mirotic and decided to leave. Evidently also because of a not idyllic relationship with Messina. Let us say that getting along with a strong character like Ettore Messina is not è so easy. And Stavropoulos, who should have a balancing role, probably does not have all this autonomy".

Also of concern meanwhile is Shields, the team’s star along with Mirotic. Despite a guaranteed contract until June 2026, he 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.
