“I have a contract. I would like to end up at Barcelona, but we have seen a lot of people, and I am also referring to football, with a contract that they have not been able to finish. Nothing is very safe here”He said Nikola Mirotic the day after the defeat against Madrid in the Final Four. Barça wants the player to significantly reduce his contract, which has another two years left, until June 2025, or leave the entity, always with a financial agreement. Well then, according to the Italian journalist Emiliano Carchia, from sportingthe 2.08 m and 32-year-old power forward has “an agreement closed with Armani Milan”.
The Hispanic-Montenegrin coincided 12 years ago at Real Madrid with Ettore Messina, who now directs Armani Milan. If Mirotic leaves Barcelona, there are very few clubs where he can join due to economic potential, and one of them is the current Italian champion, who continues to increase his budget in search of a Euroleague that he has not won since 1988.
It is not the first time that Mirotic has been closely linked with Olimpia Milan. Last Sunday the account Canaletes Bar on Twitter, which has a podcast about Barça, reported that the player was “in very advanced talks to sign” for the Italian team. And he also claimed that the MVP of the Euroleague in 2022 is not about to lower his current salary again, which makes him the highest paid on the continent. His departure from Barcelona would have to arrive, in principle, with prior compensation from the Barça entity.
Mirotic, by the way, will start this Friday the Endesa League final against Real Madrid and hours before, This Thursday, he will participate in the previous press conference together with Jasikevicius, Chus Mateo and Sergio Rodríguez.
