Bulgarian basketball player Alexander Vezenkov is close to returning to Europe and signing a three- or four-year contract with his former team Olympiakos, claims the Italian publication sportando.basketball, quoted by Gong.bg.
The Toronto Raptors officially announced the deal in which Alexander Vezenkov became part of the club after being traded to the Sacramento Kings. Yesterday, information appeared that the Canadian club has invited the Bulgarian national to urgent talks in the coming days, where his future will be discussed.
Vezenkov himself is believed to be unhappy about being able to play for Toronto, which was one of the weakest teams in the NBA's Eastern Conference. Information has already appeared in Greece that the Raptors want to inform Bulgaria's #1 athlete for 2023 that they are planning another transfer of him. The offer from the "red" from the Athens suburb of Piraeus for 10 million euros over 3 years.
To convince the Bulgarian international to return to the Old Continent after just one season in the NBA, Olympiakos' offer could reach 16 million euros for the next four years and due to competition from teams such as Panathinaikos and Anadolu Efes.
Recently, Alexander Vezenkov's agent revealed precisely about an offer from the other Greek giant.
"The formalities are pending", writes Sportando.
