ON THE FUTURE OF THE CLUB

There have been these negotiations (with the Israelis, ed), Dr Gherardi has had a position of refusal, which I share, in the face of this proposal. This club can find resources on its territory, Virtus smells of Italy. For the moment, I don’t see any changes on the horizon.

ON THE MARKET

The team has been built day by day, with sharing. We have achieved almost all our goals. There was the possibility of signing Shabazz Napier, but no agreement was reached. You have to have the right number of roosters, not a second choice, but a prospect. Morgan, like Tucker and Grazulis. An intelligent thing was done.

ON NALDI (SINNER CASE)

I had Naldi treat me personally to quantify my trust. I was hurt, but what I can tell him is that for honest people, life goes on with great satisfaction. I wish him the best of luck.

ON THE PALASPORT

According to Fiere di Bologna, everything is on track. Everything points to the 2026 edition. We have no doubt that this will be the case.
