Nigel Williams-Goss reportedly to stay with Olympiacos

There has been much talk in recent days about a possible return of Nigel Williams-Goss to Partizan, but these rumours have turned out to be unfounded.

The American point guard, currently under contract with Olympiakos, has had no talks with the Serbian club. Williams-Goss confirmed on Instagram that he had not spoken to any club during the summer, calling the circulating information false.

Williams-Goss, who started his European career right at Partizan in 2017, has subsequently played for Olympiakos, Lokomotiv Kuban, Utah Jazz, Real Madrid and back to Olympiakos.

Any discussion about his return to Belgrade would only be possible after the termination of his contract with the Greek club, but at the moment this possibility does not exist.

Crvena Zvezda, Barcelona, Panathinaikos and Virtus in the mix for Toko Shengelia

At Virtus Bologna, the future of Toko Shengelia is always on the table. The point is offered to us, on Repubblica-Bologna, by Walter Fuochi.

We read: «Shengelia is weighing up the offers: the richest one from the Red Star, but only for one year, the longest one from Barca, but at a lower salary, the most tenacious one from Panathinaikos, which, however, is looking for Vezenkov as 4 (and if he finds him, after Lorenzo Brown, he’ll arm us with a battleship).

And then he’s left with Virtus, a final year as an icon, at two million».
