Defensa Central, a portal close to Real Madrid, claimed that Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade are offering Dzanan Musa, whose contract with the EuroLeague champs expires after the end of the 2024-25 season, a three-year deal and allegedly 2 million euros per season.

The report mentioned that the player is yet to make up his mind, but also added that he was surprised by the offer and that his priority is to stay in Madrid. In a tweet posted on X, Musa's agent, Misko Raznatovic, cleared up the air on his client's status and contract duration, noting that Musa has an NBA out clause for this coming summer.

Partizan instantly reacted to the report with an announcement that was published on the club's website.

"We are witnessing that amid the turning point of the season, news is appearing in the public that one of the best players of Real Madrid, Dzanan Musa, has an offer from KK Partizan Mozzart Bet. With great respect for Musa and his unquestionable playing quality, this news is not true as no one from the club has contacted him or his agent, let alone made any offer," the Serbian club clarifies.

"This news by itself would not be worthy of so much attention if it were not a case that has been repeated dozens of times in which the public makes fabulous offers to Partizan for certain players, mostly during the competition year," the release reads.

"The club hereby expresses its doubt that these things do not happen by chance and appeals to the media to freely check such bombastic news with the leaders of the black and white before publishing it."

Via the announcement, Partizan also informed that "the official positions of the club when it comes to financial and general operations are communicated through the official website, or through the public appearances of president Ostoja Mijailovic or director Dulet Karavesovic."

"All other comments made should be viewed and treated as personal impressions or views," the announcement notes.
