In the craziest summer of recent years, a new episode has shaken European basketball; we are talking about Moses Wright.
About 4 months ago, in March, FC Barcelona was close to an agreement with the former Zalgiris Kaunas center, who was coming off the best season of his career. He had an incredible impact during his season in Lithuania, helping Coach Masiulis’s team reach the playoffs.
Barcelona continued to intensify talks with him and his agency until the parties signed a contract valid for the next two seasons. Wright’s transfer, as well as that of Nebo (who paid the out option in his contract with Olimpia Milano to leave the team and also sign with Barcelona), were strongly desired by Xavi Pascual. However, just a few months later, the coach decided to leave the Catalan team and sign a three-year deal with Dubai.
Seeing Barcelona’s uncertain situation—with many players leaving the team and still no head coach—Wright has now decided to trigger a €900k exit clause present in his contract with Barcelona for this summer. It is a truly bizarre situation, given that Wright will leave the team without ever having played a
single game…
Olimpia Milano has been highly interested in him for a while now and was looking for their starting center for next season. They initiated contact with his agency, and after an initial offer was rejected by the player, who wanted a higher salary, Wright opened up to the possibility of playing in Milan.
He has reached a two-year agreement with the Italian powerhouse, with a contract worth approximately $1.7M per season.
An incredible story, perhaps unprecedented in recent years, in one of the craziest summers of the European market. Moses Wright will be an Olimpia Milano player.
