Greek veteran guard Kostas Sloukas is currently one of the hottest names on the free agent market. After spending three seasons with Olympiacos Piraeus, Sloukas' continuity with the Greek side is now in doubt, as the player would love to have a more central role.

In the last few hours, there's been a breakthrough in his case, though. According to BasketNews sources, Sloukas has received an offer from Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade which might lead him to a reunion with coach Zeljko Obradovic.

The two have already worked together for five seasons with Fenerbahce, winning a EuroLeague title in 2017.

Partizan is looking with strong interest at Sloukas' case as the future of Dante Exum with the Serbian powerhouse remains uncertain.

The Australian guard, in fact, is drawing interest both from the NBA and other EuroLeague clubs and, as of right now, looks pretty focused on his chances to go back to the NBA after a strong season with Partizan.

Last season, Sloukas averaged 11.0 points, 2.1 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and shot 32.2% from three-point range in the EuroLeague.

The Greek guard has also received interest from his former club Fenerbahce, and he's still in talks with Olympiacos' front office about a potential contract extension.
