Facundo Campazzo moves to Serbia

As Facundo Campazzo’s arrival at Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade seems imminent, Red Star president Nebojsa Covic has commented on the current situation. “Nothing is finished yet,” he stressed during the interview with Sputnik Portal. “We are working on it, when it is finished, one way or another, you will have information. We are not far, but not close either.” “Another thing, I saw some announcements about 6.9-7.0 million euros. Those figures they mention, I don’t know what kind of imagination it is,” the top executive added. -via BasketNews / December 17, 2022

Facundo Campazzo is returning to Europe and at this point, it’s almost certain that he will sign the offer made to him by Crvena Zvezda. Real Madrid can still match the contract offer made to him, the deadline expires tomorrow night, but so far there’s not any indication that the Spanish club will match. On the contrary, Real Madrid was reluctant from the first moment to match a 1,8M+2,5M euros offer, which will make Campazzo once again one of the highest-paid players in their roster with Madrid having to spend in the second year of the contract almost double the money to cover also the taxes. -via EuroHoops.net / December 14, 2022

Jose Calderon former Spanish player also talked about EuroLeague players in the NBA, admitting that the US teams look to European basketball more and more. “We already know it’s not the same to score 15 points in the Euroleague and in the NBA. We are aware of the level there. If you have succeeded in the EuroLeague, you will have a chance in the NBA.” “Then it depends on the role, the physicality, the rhythm… NBA is not easy. Some players like Gaby Deck or Facundo Campazzo may not fit here for different reasons, but they can have amazing careers in Europe,” continued Calderon. -via BasketNews / December 11, 2022
