According to Barca's official announcement, it "acquires the sports rights of the Serbian player in the Endesa League in the event that he returns to the ACB competitions".

Kalinic's right in the Spanish league previously belonged to Valencia Basket. If the player made a comeback to Spain, he would first have to agree with it with Valencia due to the fact that it was the first team he played in there.

The price asked for Kalinic's rights reportedly was 500,000 euros. As the formalities have been officialized now, the next step in bringing Kalinic to the team is agreeing on the terms of the contract.

Kalinic last played for Crvena Zvezda mts Belgrade where he averaged 12.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 3.4 assists for 11.7 PIR.
