Bruno Caboclo is leaning towards Partizan, but as previously reported by Sportando, there is no agreement with Reyer Venezia, which holds a valid contract.
Bruno Caboclo-Partizan: il giocatore vuole andare a Belgrado e il club serbo vuole il giocatore. Ma al momento la Reyer Venezia, titolare di un regolare contratto, non è stata mai contattata dalle parti. Ad oggi non esiste nessun accordo.
— Alessandro Luigi Maggi (@AlessandroMagg4) October 30, 2023
As reported by Italian newspaper La Nuova in their latest edition: “Caboclo has a two-year contract with Reyer, and for at least the first year, there is no escape clause. The contract stipulates a salary of 800,000 euros per season with potential bonuses that could easily reach a million or more for the first year. For his potential signing with Partizan, the Serbian team and the player’s representatives, led by Daniel Hazan, must reach an agreement with the orogranata club (Reyer Venezia).”
As of now, no one has contacted the Venetian club. “Certainly, the amount required to release Caboclo from his contract with Reyer is very high, estimated at least one million, perhaps even one and a half million euros,” concludes the newspaper.
Brazilian big man and former NBA Bruno Caboclo has reportedly reached an agreement to part ways with Reyer Venezia and will sign, in the upcoming days, a 2-year contract with ABA Liga reigning champion Partizan Belgrade. This has been reported by Serbian outlet Telesport, after weeks of speculation since Caboclo refused to arrive in Italy following the end of the FIBA World Cup.
According to our sources, Bruno Caboclo has reached an agreement with Venice regarding an exit from the contract and will officially sign a two-year deal with the regional champion in the coming days! ⚫⚪🔜 pic.twitter.com/JbkoZmuigq

Gianmarco Pozzecco will be announced soon as new head coach of Asvel.

The future of Xoan Peñarroya as the head coach of the Baskonia basketball team is uncertain, especially following the recent loss against Malaga. However, Peñarroya seems to be unfazed about his position, despite reports in Spain suggesting Dusko Ivanovic as a possible successor.
“I’m not worried; I’m calm regarding the possibility of being fired or not. The team needs to be more stable. I say this because I work with a great group of players. If I were concerned about every criticism, then I would already be hanging from a tree,” Peñarroya stated.
“We are still in October, and the season has just begun. I will continue to work hard as I have always done in my career. If you have come today for my funeral, there is no such thing. I am quite calm at this moment,” he added.
“My communication with the players is excellent. At this moment, there is neither my funeral nor that of Baskonia. If the losses are not affecting the players now, then there is no problem here,” he concluded.

The German Basketball Federation is reluctant to allow Gordon Herbert to become the new head coach of ASVEL Villeurbanne in the EuroLeague according with Basketnews.
The federation is not willing to grant Herbert permission to sign a contract with the EuroLeague and work for both ASVEL and the German national team. This stance complicates Herbert’s chances of returning to the EuroLeague after a 15-year absence, given his commitment to maintaining his role within the German national team.
Herbert has a contract with the German national team until 2025.
LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne is exploring a coaching change, with Gordon Herbert being their primary candidate to replace TJ Parker, according to BasketNews sources.
