The EuroLeague champions turned down an official offer, making it clear they have no intention of parting ways with the veteran guard.

Thomas Walkup is expected to remain with Olympiacos after the Greek club rejected an official approach from Dubai Basketball. According to Sport24, the Emirati side submitted an offer worth a total of €600,000, split between this summer and next, in an attempt to secure the experienced guard.

Olympiacos quickly declined the proposal, reaffirming that Walkup is not available for transfer. The Greek international reportedly explored the possibility of the move and even contacted the EuroLeague Players Association to better understand his contractual situation. However, with no buyout clause included in his deal, Olympiacos has complete control over any potential transfer.

Dubai was prepared to offer Walkup a contract worth around €3 million, while his current deal with Olympiacos expires in 2027.
