“There have been discussions with various European groups. As you remember, many mentioned the Red Star, but the situation in the world affected us greatly, as we could not get the job done. There were also teams that didn’t care about the situation. There were proposals from two Spanish teams. One was a big club, but the financial proposal was low. The second offer was good in terms of money, but we did not accept it“, said Obrad Fimich to the press of Russia and added:

“Surely if he played in a Euroleague team he would have a problem traveling to Lithuania. He couldn’t go there. Red Star management thought so. There are a lot of matches, along with playoffs and play-ins, so if Zalgiris was the opponent then it wouldn’t be convenient. For this reason, Red Star changed his mind to propose to Alexei».

But, in the end, everything that needed to be done was done. Discover a new market. I believe it will continue for years to come in China».
