Virtus Bologna anxious: there’s a line for Toko Shengelia
Georgian star wears Virtus Bologna jersey from 2022
Virtus Bologna fans are rightly concerned. After Lundberg's farewell (he signed a two-year deal with Partizan), the feeling è that Shengelia may also pack his bags and go play elsewhere. The Georgian's eventual farewell would be a huge blow for the Black Vs, considering his importance within the locker room and, more importantly, on the court.
The Georgian star, who arrived in Bologna, Virtus side, in 2022, still has one year left on his contract with the Bologna club at a whopping two million euros. That’s a hefty signing that weighs heavily, especially at this moment in history. There are player options that could allow Shengelia to say goodbye to Virtus Bologna and settle elsewhere.
So many top clubs are on his trail. In particular, watch out for Red Star, eager to set up a really important roster. Barcelona and Panathinaikos would also be thinking about it, also becauseè the talent of the 32-year-old Georgian è is unique and could suit any coach (Banchi, coach of Virtus Bologna, knows it well).
According to Tuttosport, Olimpia Milano would also be at the window for Shengelia. From "sworn enemy" to new red and white purchase? Given Olimpia's buying campaign in recent days, it seems unlikely but anything canò happen in this crazy market. We will know more in the coming days.
