Varese also picks up Liam Udom and ponders two renewals

Hot days for the Varese market, which is planning next season’s roster. Openjobmetis has just made official the arrival of Iris Ikangi, a two-meter wing born in Voghera, formerly of Verona, Brindisi, Scafati and Torino, who will take the place of Elisée Assui, who will play in the Ncaa next year at Florida State University.

Varese according to reports in Corriere della Sera is also about to announce the arrival of Liam Udom from Rieti. Born in 2000, he played in Piacenza and Verona in his career before moving to Real Sebastiani Rieti in 2025.

The Openjobmetis is also working on the renewal front: the club’s intention is to extend Davide Alviti’s contract. If negotiations do not go through, Varese could target Stefan Nikolic, now in Venice. News is also expected regarding Matteo Librizzi, who could try the NCAA experience despite a multi-year contract with his hometown team: the player is expected to give a definitive answer in the coming days.

On the Alviti front, there is no shortage of competition. The new Roma, which formalized the transfer of the sports title from Cremona last May 28, is building its Italian nucleus and could enter the race for the wing from Alatri, who in his career has also worn the jerseys of Eurobasket, Virtus, Treviso, Trieste and Trento. Varese Basketball has already submitted a multi-year proposal, but the situation remains in flux. In case the agreement for Alviti’s renewal does not materialize, Plan B leads to Stefan Nikolic: the player, who can free himself from Reyer thanks to the clause in his 1+1 contract, is a profile that the Laguna orogranata also likes, making the situation even more intricate.
