Olimpia Milan has reached a multi year deal with Leandro Bolmaro, a 1.98 mt tall guard, born on 11 September 2000 in Las Varillas in Argentina and coming from Bayern Munich.

LEANDRO BOLMARO – "I’m really excited about the challenge that awaits me; I’m incredibly happy to join a big club like Olimpia Milan. I will try to do my best to help the team and this great organization reach the peaks that they deserve. I can’t wait to start the new season and play with my new teammates and for Coach Ettore Messina."

CAREER – Bolmaro began playing for Almafuerte, in Las Varillas, a city in the province of Cordoba, Argentina. In 2017 he moved to Bahia Blanca to play for Estudiantes. After a year, Bolmaro moved again to Barcelona who in turn used him in the second team in Spain (10.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.7 assists on average). In 2019/20 he played both with the first team and with the reserves (14.9 points and 3.6 assists on average).

In 2020/21 he won both the Copa del Rey and the Spanish league. At the end of that season, he exercised the option to exit the contract and move to the NBA to Minnesota who had acquired his rights after the 2020 draft (he was chosen at number 23 by New York). Bolmaro played two years in the NBA first at Minnesota and then at Utah with 49 appearances on the court. In 2023 he finished the season in Spain in Tenerife and spent the last season playing for Bayern Munich (8.4 points and 3.4 assists on average in the EuroLeague with 30 appearances, 28 of them as a starter) winning the German title (7.7 points and 2.8 assists on average, 38.5 percent on threes) and the German Cup.
