Shengelia should sign a contract until the end of the season with an option for one more year, in case Virtus will reach the EuroLeague.

On Friday, BasketNews reported that Shengelia attracts interest from both Valencia Basket and Virtus, but now it looks like the Italian club won the race for his signature.

This season, Shengelia averaged 12.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 14.1 PIR in 15 EuroLeague games.

The transfer deadline in the EuroCup closes on March 8th. On Thursday, Virtus announced the signing of Daniel Hackett.
