Erick Green: Cantù is waiting for a sign from Reyer Venice; the Turkish threat appears to have been averted

Cantù is trying to speed up Erick Green’s return. According to La Provincia, the Brianza-based club is in the lead in the race to sign the American guard, who has reportedly already expressed his desire to return to Cantù. Currently under a pay-as-you-go contract with Reyer Venezia, the player has reportedly communicated his intentions to both the Venice-based club and his agent.

The former Siena, Treviso, and Napoli player’s willingness, combined with the financial and on-court proposal put on the table by Cantù, has reportedly allowed the Brianza-based team to pull ahead of other suitors, including Udine, Reggio Emilia, Scafati, and several Turkish clubs—all of which remain formidable opponents due to their considerable financial resources. However, the transfer will have to wait: his contract with Venice expires on November 19, with the possibility of an extension until the 22nd.

If Reyer does not give the green light early, Green might not make his debut with Cantù until the away game against Scafati on November 22—a crucial match in the fight to stay in the league: In Brianza, however, they are waiting for a signal from Venice because they hope to have him available as early as the home game on the 15th against Tortona, a team that is also struggling.
