FC Barcelona and Nikola Mirotic have reached an agreement to extend the power forward\u2019s contract until 30 June 2025. The Montenegrin was previously contracted until 2022, with an option to stay until 2023, but he will now be staying until at least 34 years of age.<\/p>\n
Mirotic arrived at the club in 2019 and in his first season at the Palau Blaugrana he was named Liga Endesa MVP on the back of his 19.5 points and 5.7 rebounds a game.<\/p>\n
The 2020\/21 season, with Sarunas Jasikevicius as head coach, has seen Mirotic\u2019s form to be as strong as ever. He has had 23 points and 8.5 rebounds in Bar\u00e7a\u2019s wins versus Hereda San Pablo Burgos and at Unicaja Malaga.<\/p>\n
Mirotic says: <\/b>\u201cI\u2019m very happy and very grateful to the club for this new opportunity. I\u2019m happy to have extended my contract. 2025 sounds great. So many years wearing this shirt and hopefully achieving further success. I look forward to repaying that trust.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe club has trusted in me ever since I arrived. Everyone knows it is never easy to come back from the US, but the club has given me everything. They wanted to bring me here, the fans have been good to me, the energy is great and I have often said how surprised I have seen to be so well received.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been here for a year and a half. I look forward to big things happening, and for the moment when the fans come back to the Palau, so they can enjoy good basketball and so we can bring them new joy. We all have the same goal and that\u2019s to win trophies.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are a lot of dreams to fulfil. We can\u2019t afford to put up any barriers. We all have our own responsibilities. I know I have lots, and I\u2019ll repay the club\u2019s confidence in me. I\u2019m hungry to win things.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
