Partizán is the destination chosen by Nikola Mirotic when he definitively agrees to his separation from Barcelona, with whom he still has a contract in force for two more seasons for 11 million euros gross for each of them. That negotiation for his departure from the Barça club is very close to being closed satisfactorily in exchange for receiving a large part of the money pending collection until June 2025.

He is so close to shelving his stay at Barça that the serbian medium Mozzar Sport informs that the Montenegrin player is in Serbia, where he also spends his holidays, to complete his agreement with Partizan, where the presence on the bench of Zeljko Obradovic, the best coach in Europe, has had a key weight in the final decision. The 32-year-old power forward has been in Barcelona for the last four seasons, since he returned from the NBA in 2019.
The first thing now is for his departure from the Barça club to be definitively announced so that his incorporation into the champion team of the Adriatic League, which has just achieved the renewal of James Nunnally, becomes official. Before he had achieved the permanence of Kevin Punter, Barça’s number one objective for the outside line, and that of Zach LeDaywho, although he is more of a power forward, can act as five and share minutes on the field with Mirotic.
Obradovic maintains the block, although it lacks a foundation after the departures of Dante Exum and Yam Madar (the one who continues is Aleksa Avramovic), and surely a pivot after the signing of Mathias Lessort by Panathinaikos. Guard-guard Ognjen Jaramaz and Polish forward Mateus Ponitka are the new faces so far. Barça, for their part, will try to cover their gap with the signing of Juancho Hernangómezonce his brother Willy is already part of the culé team.
