Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport reports that Virtus are showing serious interest in signing Nikola Milutinov. BasketNews sources have confirmed this information.

The outlet also reports the club has been closely following the situation of Jordan Mickey.

Milutinov has arguably been the most dominant center in the EuroLeague for the past several years. After suffering a foot injury, he averaged 7.7 points and 6.5 rebounds for 13.6 PIR for CSKA Moscow during the 2021-22 season.

His two previous years were much better where he averaged 9.9 points and 8.6 rebounds for 17.9 PIR in the 2020-2021 season and 10.3 points and 8.2 rebounds for 19.2 PIR in the 2019-2020 EuroLeague season.

The Italian newspaper also reports about Virtus showing interest in Jan Vesely and John Brown III.

Jordan Loyd's name is also mentioned, but he reportedly has a deal with AS Monaco, according to BeBasket.
