From Saturday to MondayOlimpia EA7 Milan she was very close to Nico Mannionaccording to various sources on the home stretch from Varese. Last night the cold shower and today the confirmations: in all probability, in the end the blue will remain at the court of Luis Scola. There was too much distance between Milan and Varese on the buyout that Olimpia would have had to pay to release Mannion.
In the summer Mannion had a buyout of €125,000, which expired with the start of the season. Milano would come to offer even slightly more, but Varese’s request for as much as €600,000 ruined the deal. The player, who would have willingly accepted Milan and the EuroLeague, will probably comply with the will of the club which allowed him to return to the top of the Italian championship after a disappointing period at Baskonia.
Only if Nico Mannion insists on the transfer could a glimmer of hope be reopened. Meanwhile, Varese, as anticipated yesterday, has got its hands on Jaron Johnson, who however, being American, is an unrelated deal compared to the former Bologna player.
