Johannes Voigtmann: My agent is trying to find a good solution for my contract situation

Johannes Voigtmann talked about his decision to depart from Russia with kicker.de: «I just couldn’t stay in Russia and carry on as if nothing had happened, especially since we don’t know how the situation there will change. In the overall context, I wouldn’t have felt safe there either».

On his future: «First of all, contractual matters have to be clarified. I’m still under contract with CSKA until summer 2023. Of course, I’d like to play again as soon as possible, also because of the EuroBasket at home. By then, I want to be in top shape. Hopefully, there will be a good opportunity to get in soon, even if the transfer deadline has already passed in some leagues».

«Even if the war hopefully ends soon, everything is not suddenly as before. Therefore, my agent is trying to find a good solution for my contract situation with the CSKA representatives. However, there is no precedent for the current situation, which is new territory for everyone».

«I prefer a long-term EuroLeague commitment beyond this season. And to do that, I first have to clarify my current contract situation with CSKA».
