Three clubs are pushing to get Nikola Milutinov on board for the 2025-26 season.
Milan has expressed interest through an offer, Olympiacos is thinking about extending him following Moustapha Fall’s 12-month injury, and ultimately, Panathinaikos has put its sights on the player.
Eurohoops sources confirm that Panathinaikos has offered 9 million euros net to add Nikola Milutinov to its frontcourt, reinforcing the roster and at the same time reducing Olympiacos‘ roster talent.
During the 2024-25 EuroLeague season, which ended in third position at the Final Four in Abu Dhabi, the 30-year-old experienced center has collected 8.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game with Olympiacos.
Nikola Milutinov joined Olympiacos in the summer of 2023 after being away from Greece for three years, at CSKA Moscow from 2020 to 2023. Previously, he represented Partizan Belgrade from 2012 to 2015 and had a first stint with the red-and-white Greek powerhouse from 2015 to 2020.
George Zakkas from SDNA first reported about Panathinaikos’ huge offer for the Serbian center, who recently won the Greek League with Olympiacos, beating Ergin Ataman’s team.
