As novosti.rs reported first, Sofoklis Schortsanitis is ready to sign with Crvena Zvezda for next season. The Greek center was released earlier in the summer by Maccabi Tel Aviv and his next stop will be Belgrade.
After selling Kalinic, Crvena Zvezda needed a big name in its roster, there’s a hole in the center position after the march of Boby Marjanovic to the Spurs and Big Sofo is the man for the job. The 30 year old center is ready for a new challenge in his career and a club like Zvezda may be the right place for him.
The offer was made just few hours ago, the negotiations are moving fast and the deal is expected to be finalized on Monday.
UPDATE: At Sunday just before midnight, Crvena Zvezda announced the addition of Sofo.
