His arrival allows us to complete the roster with characteristics useful in the immediate future and at the same time with a perspective of the future development of our team. It was a market operation in the club’s plans, not dictated by the need to replace Mannion, also because Nico has, fortunately, no need to be replaced.”

“I am looking forward to joining this group of great talent and great players,” Alexander said. “It is an honor for me to be part of Virtus Segafredo Bologna. I am ready to showcase my talent and experience special moments with my teammates, coach, and fans.”
