The 21-year-old Giedraitis will pen a long-term contract in the near future, via the report.

Rokas Pakenas further reports that the newly established Lithuanian club BC Wolves Vilnius and two Spanish clubs -- Gran Canaria and Joventut Badalona -- were also interested in the Lithuanian player.

A talented 1.93-meter guard has belonged to Movistar Estudiantes Madrid since 2017.

According to the report, Zalgiris will pay about €150,000 for Giedraitis, who had another two years on his contract. The primary sum of a buyout was €300,000, but Estudiantes decreased its financial needs since they are not returning to ACB League.

As stated by Pakenas, Giedraitis most likely will play on loan next season.

The player spent the last season on loan with Lietkabelis Panevezys. Giedraitis averaged 8.6 points, 1.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 5.3 PIR over 14 EuroCup games (25 minutes).
