THE Olympic announced the acquisition of the Lithuanian forward, who signed three-year contract.
The agreement between the two sides was reached in the last 24 hours and was helped by their joint presence in Cyprus for the “Neofytos Handriotis” tournament, with the Piraeus team also joining hands with Zalgiriswhich is expected to collect an amount of 500,000 dollarsfor the player’s buyout.
In fact, the 24-year-old guard/forward will enter directly into the atmosphere of the team, since he is already in Athens with the “red and white” team and from… tomorrow he will hit SEF for training.
