Barca have officially communicated that the club has parted ways with Mirotic.

Mirotic still had two years left in his contract with the Catalan team but the organization had informed that they no longer see a future for the Montenegrin power forward on the squad.

The two sides, however, did not agree on a payout to terminate the deal.With Barca unilaterally terminating the player's contract, Mirotic now has 20 days to challenge the decision in court for unfair termination.

The matter and the exact amount of money the player will receive will be determined in court. As the situation currently stands, it is believed the player will receive his full salary for both seasons.

Mirotic is now free to sign with another EuroLeague team. The forward will most likely sign with Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade, as the two sides are finalizing an agreement.

The 33-year-old suffered an Achilles injury before the start of the 2022-23 season that kept him out until December. After returning to the court, Mirotic averaged 15.4 points and 4.3 rebounds for 16.4 PIR. His numbers were similar in the Spanish Liga Endesa - 13.6 points and 4.6 rebounds for 15.6 PIR.

Together with Barca, Mirotic won two Liga Endesa titles and two Copa del Rey trophies. He also became the EuroLeague MVP in 2022 after missing out on the award in 2021.
