Sfeiropoulos on the possibility of Tobi’s departure: “He is important for us and a big part of our game”

THE Red Star reinforced in the front line, after acquiring him Freddie Gillespie from Bayern Munich.

This move was interpreted by many as a harbinger of his departure Mike Tobey, who has not impressed so far this season. THE Yannis Sfeiropouloshowever, characterized the Slovenian as important in his plans, while he did not rule out the possibility of another move for the Serbian team.

In detail what he said:

On Gillespie’s transfer: “We looked for options in the market. Some players didn’t want to come, some did and one of the best who had that desire was Freddie, so we signed him. We expect him to bring us energy and good defense. Of course, he is a player who knows the EuroLeague well. I don’t think his arrival will affect the players who are here because everyone has their role.”

On whether this move is related to the departure of Mike Tobey: “Mike is an important player for us and a big part of our game offensively and defensively. We need him to play well to help the team achieve its goals.”

As to whether other moves will follow: “We are open to see if there is an opportunity to sign a player who can make a difference. I’ll say it again: I don’t want to bring a player just to bring him. The market is crowded, everyone is looking for players and the good ones are mostly under contract. So it is not easy to bring reinforcements” he pointed out. We will do our best, with the help of the management and the chairman, to bring in those who can help the team. If we find him, we could sign him.”
