Raul Neto is preparing to be a new member of Fenerbahçe and has not considered Dimitris Itoudis Nick Calathes. The thorn is the compensation for the Greek goalkeeper, who has a contract close to 1.5 million euros for next season.

Brazilian goalkeeper Raul Neto is set to become the new cog in the Fenerbahçe machine. 31 years old He averaged 3.2 points and 1.6 assists in 11 minutes per game last season with the The Cleveland Cavaliers and Dimitris Etodis see him as a player who fits his game plan into the team he’s building.

What does this mean for Nick Calathes? The Greek guard is not counted, and is known to be practically redundant on the roster and facing the exit door. The 34-year-old knows that the people of Fenerbahçe would like to get out of his contract and look elsewhere for his basketball future.

But, in order to leave Fener, Calathes wants to be paid. As happened in Barcelona when he took his contract money to release him. For the new season, he is close to 1.5 million euros, and he will not say “goodbye” without compensation.

Fenerbahçe has captured Madarb, and is preparing to take over Neto, while Wilbecken, Dorsey, Godorish, Heizer, and Mahmutoğlu are still on guard. One understands that there is a “multiverse” in short and that Calathes is out of the box. But he does not intend to make life easier for the people of the Turkish national team. It must even be emphasized that the actor has recently changed hands after 15 years.

We remind you that SPORT24 wrote that Partizan Željko Obradović has Kalatis on its radar, although he was leaving Fenerbahçe, having left Exum for the NBA and the Dallas Mavericks, as well as Madar who moved to Istanbul for the Etodis team.

Last season, Kalathis averaged 8 points, 4 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 25’39’ of participation per Euroleague game. In the league, he averaged 7.9 points, 6.4 assists, and 3.5 rebounds in 22’2” of action per game.
