Virtus Bologna is bringing another great player to Italy. Massimo Zanetti sends a new message of love to the pitch by signing Ante Zizic on a contract until June 30, 2026.
It’s an attempt to add even more momentum to the EuroLeague playoff race, a few days after Rihards Lomazs’ announcement.
A “flash” announcement that began to build in the morning when the player’s agent, Misko Raznatovic, tweeted about X.
Unfortunately there is a shop😂 that has to stay open 365 days! Birthdays, New Years – no one really cares😀
Tomorrow to close out 2023 in style!#BeoBasketball— Misko4Raznatovic (@MiskoRaznatovic) December 30, 2023
It is not easy to do this, but it is not possible for this to be the case……#BeoBasketball

The concept is: “The agent never goes on vacation and, after losing a Croatian national player, takes another Croatian citizen.”
Zizic was on the court for just 14 minutes with 8 points and 3 rebounds against his former team Darussafaka. But the rumors are increasing. The first to “play” with it is Cesare Forgione from Eurodevotion.

But it’s not a game, because at 10:16 a.m. Efes announces the dissolution with the player who signed a 2+1 contract with the then European champion Ergin Ataman in the summer of 2022.
After taking the first steps before Žižić’e teşekkür e.

Social media is going crazy in Europe. Dario Ronzulli, historic voice of Italian radio and Virtus Bologna, confirms: Yes, that’s true.
